    Default Q8s FD, early

    I have a feeling that I completely mis-played this hand. It's too early for reads, but he's likes to limp any two (at least one broadway.) The only read that he could have on me (I think/hope) is that i bet at my drawing hands on the flop against one player/limper.

    On the turn, if he has an Ace, shouldn't he re-raise me because of the draw, unless it's a weak Ace? And not checking behind on the river told me that he either missed the draw, picked up two pair, a set (that should have folded a while ago), or is faking the SD hit, or thought I was bluffing the draw...right? (If it weren't so early, I'd push the turn...) With 3:1 odds, do I still fold here? What should I have done in this case? I feel like such a donk...

    I would check the turn since the A came on the flop. Low buyin donkeys LOVE to limp with A-rag so I'd say you need to improve to win this hand. A-rag is the hand that I would say opp would be donkminbetting on the flop. If opp bets the turn then I raise all-in. A pair plus FD is a very strong hand but also one that you don't mind taking down without a fight.

    As played, tough spot, but I think I fold the river despite better than 3:1 odds. I think you're very likely beat here unless opp is also betting a missed FD (which low buyin opps generally don't do).

    I deffo fold the river.
    I prolly check/call the turn or make a smaller bet, doing this keeps the pot smaller when were likely behind to a hand like AJ.
