    You are not crushed against anything...I am not even sure what he is betting right there he must have top or second set with an A2 behind. Im pretty sure I call here.

    Yes u played it very weak. I take control on the flop. When he bets $4,800 on the flop I raise him the max and make him call. I gamble here, and I play O8 tournies quite a bit, so thats just my line.

    I like raising the flop/jamming the turn, since you're drawing pretty sick against almost any hand really, except A2xx with the xx being JJ, 33, or 55.
