Default Re: 88 Out of Position

I don't like Villain's flop lead very much. He's a big underdog to your range on that flop, and you were going to auto-bet anyway, right?

However, let's say your range is AA-TT and AK-AQ. In that case, about one time out of three Villain will currently be in the lead on the flop. He also has the worst of the outs (even when he's a favorite, he's not a favorite by much), and his equity sucks. But if an ace, king, or jack falls, he'll see that card and can check-fold. And if none of those cards fall, you might take a free card on the turn or take a free showdown on the river.

So, aside from the flop lead, I think Villain's play is all right.
