He said he had the 82 in the big blind.

Anyway, the biggest factor to take into consideration is the size of the pot. If the pot is small, and someone bets into you representing top pair, then you kicker is obviously no good, and as the pot is small, you generally won't have odds to draw for a 2.

First, trust me on this - Aaron knows of what he speaks. And I'd bet my b/r he didn't miss "82 in the BB." I'm guessing you missed the "fold preflop" sarcasm.

My experience with 3/6 is maddening. Calling stations and chasers. Tough crowd to figure because occasionally they actually make a smart play. No, I'm not claiming to be a genius.

You're right, maybe, about one of them betting into you if they've got an 8. And it might even be 88. My experience again, is they rarely bet out with 88. So, as you said, his weak kicker leaves him screwed and I'd fold.
