Help with this hand plz, was confused on how to play it

By the way donkeybets, keith is better than me and mojo. I'm glad you value our comments, but don't be so quick to dismiss keith's opinion just because he's blunt and thinks you're a fish. Try and understand where he's coming from, you'll get more from him that way.

That’s nice, doesn’t mean I have to to accept his opinions, he’s not being blunt he’s being jerk. I’ve heard of Daniel Negreanu and Phil Ivey what’s Keith’s full name maybe I’ve seen him on tv. I think you guys play too tight if your folding A8s here I have a book by Jonathan Little his book says can call here with my 38bb, I think you guys are the minority if you think folding pre is an option there 19c in the pot I have to call 2c with A8dd to see a flop lol.

The reason I think this is a fold pre flop is because we can't win massive pots. We can easily lose our stack with top pair, and the flushes we make are not enough compensation for the times we are dominated. When we're full stacked, it's not so easy to lose your stack with a bad top pair, but you do increase the potential size of the pots you win when your flush comes good.

We do have great pot odds, but this is about implied odds vs reverse implied odds.
