Wanted the advice of others with far more skill than myself. I played poker for years in the infancy of online poker (and poorly I might add) but wised up and read a few books (Sklansky) and tightened up my play. I know I still have a LOT to learn still. I play mostly MTT's now cause I love the smallish investment (stick to $50 and under) and the joy of playing for 2 plus hours.
My question is how would you play pocket pairs vs a single overcard?
Overview: I'm on the button, p1 and p2. Pocket 9's. I preflop raise 3x BB and get two callers, one I'm reading as a loose player (p1). Flop comes 7,3,J no flush draw. P1 checks and P2 goes all in with his SS for approx 4x BB. Hesitated and eventually folded the 9's. P1 calls and shows A7 and P2 shows pocket 8's.
Did I make the right move? Anything I could should have done differently? Thanks in advance for any and all feedback. This is one that has me stumped. I can understand getting knocked out with my AKs to an AQo when a Q hits on the turn but this one has been bugging me for a bit.
