You folded the nuts.

[Roscopiko]

I used to make those calls all the time when I first played.

Unfortunately, I nearly always lost cos my opponent had better than K high. Sweet sweet expensive memories.  

[RioRodent]

Calling someone "donkey" is not very noble, O noble1.  

[Swinebag]

And if they are a really a donkey, you surely dont want to motivate them to improve by calling them a donkey.

[TopPair2Pair]

Basically wrong move right time IMO. A philosophy that I love to live by!!!! the beauty of poker...

Not a good call (imo), even if the play is getting shovey not much of an excuse for this unless there is any additional table info on vahsi6 that might highlight the river decision reasoning.

Could easily be an Ace High bet.

wudnt pocket 8"s be the nuts?

[noble1]

Calling someone "donkey" is not very noble, O noble1.  

it is ok if on a flop AK2 rainbow they call a 3/4 pot bet with 45o and hit a 3 on the turn
meanwhile my spider senses are tingling and i check the turn [is my AK no good hmmm i"m out of position,i think i"ll try to control the pot size and see the river as cheap as i can] , he also checks,The river brings us a ten, i check he bets 1/3 of pot[hmmm if he had a set on the flop, why check the turn ?? and why such a small bet on the river], i call of course and with gr8 pride he shows his 45 off suit...  BAD DONKEY lmao            
he called a 4xbb ep raise with 45o , not a gr8 play in my book , that has gone in his notes as BAD BAD BAD PLAYER as the donk didnt even maximise the nuts on the turn or the river....
Ahhhhhh got that off my chest again...

wudnt pocket 8"s be the nuts?

No, because that would mean there are five eights in the deck.  T8 would have been the absolute nuts, but 83 was close enough for me.

must be missing something.....why 5 8"s?...cant see the 5th 8?....8 on flop and turn..if he had pocket 8"s then 4 8"s....and the nuts?
