This one seems pretty straightforward. If I've been splashing around a bit, I'll toss this hand pre-flop. If I've been good, I'll raise.

Will he pay you off w/ Ace-high or 66 here? Is he really tricky enough to CR you on the river? Will he CR-bluff w/ JdTd? These are the things I think about here. Seems like he'd fire out a value-bet w/ something like TT. By default, I'm value-betting here hoping for a call from 89. But I'd sure hate to walk into a CR from QdTd.

I almost never bother w/ hands like this anymore. Opponents are just too stubborn these days.
