Message: [QUOTE="nevadanick, post: 1078548, member: 27547"] I think what most of the others are trying to say is that you played a weak Ace. So it hit a set on the flop, but STILL a weak ace. You say the turn and river were 'blanks'. Maybe to you, but maybe not to villain. Maybe his was an Ax and the 'x' being matched to a 'blank'. Sure, some online players figure ANY A,x is worthy of an all-in pf. But many online players won't play anything less than A,10 or A,9 for just this reason. An A,8 is beat by any Ace,9,10,J,Q,K. Once you got yourself into this situation, yes, a check fold might be smart unless you enjoy chasing the elusive 8. Maybe you're just one of those who cannot bear to fold any Ace....?? Nothing really 'wrong' with that, it just gets very costly. [/QUOTE]
