Hi JV,

he could have some random crap lik AQ, pocket pairs...etc.

This is where opinions diverge most in this thread, I think. I agree that he would play a pocket pair JJ and down this way, with obvious weight leant to the lower pairs. But if he has AQ, my notion of a prop is way off. I think of someone who plays conservatively, and halfway decent or better (usually not much better). AQ in this spot is really for 19-year olds who've just learned what hands to play, and who now play them indiscriminately. As for the "...etc" portion of your quote, there really isn't anything else for him to be in there with. He's facing a "limprotected" pre-flop raiser, and called a bet on a K-8-8 flop with no draws. He has 2 pair or better here for sure, and he will probably play them well (dump them) if Dave follows up on the turn. A free card is not at all dangerous if Dave's ahead, so checking and then making sure a bet goes in on the river is the best line, IMO.
