Re: Big pot with 88
In a pot this big with this many players I think you're looking at a textbook situation of reverse implied odds. You're hoping he has AT or AK and can't put you to the test with either of them (you'll be wrong if you're guessing that at 10/20+), which each have not only 10 outs twice against you, but considerable folding equity should they choose to exploit it. Add that to the fact that a LP bet a QJ6 flop after coldcalling preflop and you're drawing to 2 outs far more than you're ahead, and you're praying to god the entire field doesn't catch up more often than you'd like.
Once you get to the river it's a solid bet, but I'm really sold on a flop checkfold here. It's multiway, you're not best often, and when you are you won't be by the river very often at all.
