    Was my flop call good? I figured all my outs were probably clean:
    2x8 + 3xT = 5 outs. = 10% chance.
    My pot odds gave me the right odds without figuring implied odds.

    My question is will i get into trouble against QT / A8 too often to make this call profitable.
    I thought i could probably put them on a better hand than me later and fold if i had to, whilst half decent hands pay me a little.

    Edit: i actually thought a Q was a little unlikely given the betting but this had been a very strange weak sort of table.

    Folding the flop would be a crime against your bankroll.

    I generally check/raise this turn.

    Meh, on second hand after that stupid flop bet, I like the turn play. Yeah, I really like it. If he plays back I think you have a good shot of getting away from this one. If he wants to showdown or draw you take him to the cleaners.
