The King folded top pair and wondered what his decision would have been with more time.
The game is a somewhat loose and four handed. The blind structure is 2-5. CO calls, BTN, calls, and the King, SB, folded A♣-8♥. The BB bets and the limpers call (6.5 small bets). The flop is:
A♥-T♦-7♠.
The King's preflop fold was correct according to his plan. If the King was playing this hand how many outs would he have? Aces would be 2, Eights would be 3 and the Backdoor draw would be .5 outs. With 5.5 outs, the King already has top pair with a mediocre kicker.
