Default Re: Big pot with 88

What are your weightings for their likely hands? If you figure you are ahead of MP who has AK/AT, on the turn he has a minimum of 13 outs to beat you, and possibly more if he has flush cards. He could already be ahead of you with 99/TT. You could even throw in a bit of a possibility of JJ/QQ trying to slowplay or AJ who is scared of the Q.

There is also button who may have a weak Q, or 99/TT, or just made his trips - none of those are going anywhere in most cases. He could also have a flush draw or straight draw which has a ton of outs against you. Unless he bet the flop with complete air (which is unlikely for an LP), or a 6, I highly doubt he will fold the turn in most cases.

I don't mind the river bet, but the turn bet is really spewing IMO. I'm not a huge fan of the flop C/R either.
