Definitely, risk 100 to win like 600 I think it was, why not!... though if it had of gotten raised/re-raised after your 40 call, obviously you'd probably have to let it go.
doing ok though...2/2 in the money...1st in a 6buck, and 2nd in a 2buck..6 man tables. Working on my third game now..lol..thought I folded lots in NLHE..lol
I would've likely folded this one preflop, as hitting the flop is pretty slim with it.
That said.....this one really plays itself when someone is over-valueing their small overpair and small flush draw.
I am finding that I am enjoying the game, even at lower limits which is nice for the br..lol...folding lots of flushes and small boats.. 4/9 in the money now..
Ironically, I have even called a few people donkeys..lmao...
One thing that does indeed make your hand better is that your ace is suited with the non pair cards, so you are able to flop the nice trips with the nut flush draw like you did, which is pretty much ahead of everything except a freak hand like J1099 (you were a 3-1 favorite over your opponent who probably thought it was a great flop for him). If your hand was Ac8c8s5d that removes that flexibility and makes it an easier fold for me preflop in that spot.
Cliffnotes: preflop was fine, post flop was very standard - get it in as fast as humanly possible.
