Default Re: J8s from the button

So, in this scenario several things have changed. Firstly, we are on the flop, where people love to find reasons to call. We also have a BDSD and a small, but nonzero, chance that hitting a K or J will give us the best hand. Finally, only one person has checked, as opposed to the whole field checking in the original hand. This leads me to betting here. As someone has already said, our showdown equity is about 33%, and it is much more likely that 3 people will call here, making it decidedly +EV
