Default Re: an uninteresting hand

1. Raise the flop.

2. Bet the turn.

3. Bet the river. You are getting called by a TON of worse hands. All the lower pocket pairs and hands like A2 and A3. Better 8s might well have reraised on the flop or something like that. You can fold to a raise easily.

If we say villain might play 87, T8+, A2, A3, 44-77, and so other random stuff, notice there are 48 hands that are beating us and 48 hands that we are beating. BUT, we should not that many of the T8+ hands (basically all of them except the suited varieties and A8) are very often not getting played in the first place. When we discount those sufficiently I think it's quite clear that we have a value bet.
