Although still incorrect, assuming it's a 5, he would have been better off doubling the A,8 vs 5, since this play is only half as bad as doubling a 4,4 vs 5. The former costing him about $14 in EV, the latter $28.

And betting $1500 on a $13000 bankroll, representing less than 9 units, is a pretty high risk-of-ruin. Losing $28000 back really pains me.

Anyway, fortyoz, I hope at least you learn BS before you play more. And set a loss-limit! You have alot of guts, that's for sure.
