Good fold or play it for value?
Was very very very close to calling this. One of those "Shit why did I just press fold" situations. I guess I was probably thinking a coin-flip, and 8s vs. coinflip vs. coinflip probably wouldn't hold up too well. Until I saw what they had.
Just playing a hundred or two hands at 50NL, I'm discovering it's really not much different from 25Nl at all. I just have to continue playing my confident, solid, somewhat aggressive style. When I played 50NL in the past, underbankrolled, I was scared to make raises and plays on people for fear of losing my small BR. Now though, it really doesn't seem that hard. When you aren't playing not to lose, winning is actually fairly simple.
