Value bet with my 3rd pair?

BB in this hand is fishy. He calls down with any piece of the board. It dosn't look like he has a Q, a T is unlikely, so should I value bet the river?

Yeah, I bet here. If the 10 had come on the flop I probably wouldn't. But if he'd only raise you with the Q I'd give it a shot.

First thing to address, must PFR with this hand in CO. Atleat try to buy button and elimate blinds. Hands like J2 T3 94 could be very bad for your hand.
Yes bet the river they pay off with any pair once they call the turn.

Sorry Thunder, but raising PF here is probably an error. You WANT the button, SB, and BB to come along so that one of them get a small piece of the flop and come along when hero hits a set.

88 is *generally* not a hand you want to move with unimproved. In this case, as everyone was clearly weak, moving with 88 is a good idea.

I would easily bet the river here for value.
