With Pocket Eights

Hello,

First, I would like you to know that this is one of the best advice sites I’ve ever seen on the net. I salute you for doing a great job on this one, congrats!

Recently, I joined 2.5M Money Maker R1 with 9p table. I had 1900 chips with pocket 8s and UTG. Blinds were 15/30. There was one player who called below and had around 2400. I raised to 150 at some point while others folded. One player called and so game was on heads up. Flop came and brought J73 rainbow. I placed 550 bet while he raised all in. I stopped for a while and then afterwards went all in. Turn and river came but of no help. Later, he showed JKo and then started collecting the pot with JJ.

Now, I believe I should have folded, what do you think?

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,
Davis
Davis,

I agree with you. Chances are he had a Jack of some type, especially since he raised. I would have put him on A-J and folded. I may have even checked that flop when the overcard hit.
