Short stacked with a pair of eights, your choice is pretty clear.

Answer to my question above: Not this one, because I lost it when the jack hit on the turn. That counterfeited my pocket eights and my opponent won because he had a 10.

I don’t even know why I fucking bother. It seems like I get far, far more than my share of bad beats.

Oh yeah, and top two spots in this tournament get paid.
