I feel like I'm giving up a lot of value with these type of flops. I'm set mining with the 88, I miss and there's one over. CO (Villain) is also a set miner who's aggressive with his misses and draws. Does anyone lead out on this flop? Obviously it's easier to play in position. Do you just give up on this hand OOP, and maybe play it stronger in position? Certainly I hate calling the flop and check-folding the turn.
