Results:

Spoiler

$4.95 pot ($0.22 rake)
Final Board: 6 J 8 9 Q
MP2 mucked and won $4.73 ($2.48 net)
Hero mucked A 8 and lost (-$2.25 net)

Once there was a raise and a call, I thought it would be profitable to play the Axs.

Once the raiser is really aggressive when he plays, I thought I had good implied odds to call. And think there was a good chance he had as overpair, or even a set o jacks, which maybe he would no be willing to fold.

I didn't hit on the turn, but still called for the same reason I called on the flop.

Didn't hit. Fold.

Was the idea of implied odds correctly used in this hand?

Hi valbartje

Preflop: We are playing shorter than 100 BB so we have less value in an implied odds situation however if we expect more callers behind your call is fine as well.

Postflop: Given we are drawing to the nuts and he doesn't bet too large I think your play is fine.

Also, why do you not have a full stack?
