I raised the turn with the plan of checking behind on the river, but I'm not sure what to make of this huge overbet. Thoughts? Alternate lines? Is it better to fold K8o to a blind defender, or is this fine (i've been raising any hand that is better than 50% against a random hand on the button -- i'd say i've raised probably 1/2 of the time it's been folded to me, but i've only shown down strong hands)?
