Default Re: Play from the blinds: J8s

If there's only a couple of opponents, and you're the first one in, you could lead at the pot, something like 50%-75% (I like the lower end of this range) and see what happens. You'd like to take it down right there. You want to be very cautious; maybe take one shot, and then let it go if you get action. If you're lucky it might get checked down (assuming you're just called on the flop) or you could face a small enough bet on the river (or microbets on the turn and river; than can happen) that you can call, but you don't want to commit many chips at all to this hand.
