Hey Sassy, sorry to hear about your run. Obviously the shove with two eights on a QJ95 board will most likely be -EV, almost always regardless of pot size, especially in a multi-way pot. As for an opponent making a loose call with 10/3, whereas you did not outline the pot size, bet sizes, stack sizes, position, etc... I would still just venture to say that the cards just didn't run in your favor. In LLHE, you will encounter many of these daring calls, and it is out of your hands to fade a 5 or 10, without a J or K on board. That is a pretty standard loss as a favorite subsequent to the call PF, which is also out of your hands. You will see that in the long run these hands will eventually favor in your direction, keep your head up high, and getting it in ahead will ultimately be a profitable adventure. Best of luck. -HT
