What about this hand here? Did I play well?

i am just rying to help and i am saying over the long haul you wont be....spec if sharks come done to lower limits.....

A8o is called dead mans hand....

1 b/c you can not connect a straight!!!
2 if you hit you 8 or Ace you dont know if your good at all
3 i would not play a8off at all.....you may win hands like you won today but that wont last long!!!!

Thats all wrong. A8 is "dead mans hand" because Wild Bill had AA88J when he died and whatever else. It carried over the poker. But i do like your theorising.

Ok.. but comes to decision.
I had better cards.
And I won.
I have being only earning money on cash games lately.

I could write an essay on this.

Your being too results orientated. It doesnt matter what happened after you go all in, if you win, lose, whatever, its the theory and the thought and the moves that are debatable.

In this situation we all feel i think that A8 is a mediocre hand.With a fair amount of action on the flop there would normally be an overpair out there, or a pair and a flush draw, or god knows what.

Simply put navuta, in my opinion you should do the following...

1 - Stop playing for one day.
2 - On the day, learn pot odds, starting hand values, everything you can,
3 - Get a poker book audio version in spanish/portugese (whichever u speak) and listen to it. It can only help.
4 - Come back, try what you have learnt.
5 - Lose less, or win because your more skilled, not because you get dealt better hands or get lucky.
