88 in the BB

Nevertheless, you (someone, highly debateable, more likely to be of aquatic descent) created the Theorem that no one can be correct, yet you are someone, so you cannot be correct, therefore the Theorem cannot be correct.

But alas, you are FISH! So yeah, it's a verified Law of Poker, no longer a Theorem.

Think for a second, and let's assume the worst (best) case scenario. Preflop raising dude has AA. The flop comes xx8. How many bets do I make before AA has any idea what I flopped?

You’re probably right. I guess I just don’t have enough confidence in my post flop play. I would be worried, not if the flop came with an 8, but if it came with 2 or 3 overcards to my 88. And this happens much more often than I flop the 8.

If I bet the flop and was called, what would I do on the turn? (Assume hu; I know this is not the same as the original post at all but I’m an idiot and I read somewhere in this thread that it was hu if the sb folds pre flop.)

I guess I should keep betting until I’m raised, but then I lose 3bb when I’m no good, assuming I pay it off, and win no turn/river bets when he folds an unimproved AK or whatever.

yep i am. but we have beaten this to death, i am move on. good luck.

If the flop came without an Ace of a King I'd check/call unless one came on later streets.

we agree that when you hit your set you make a lot of $. what i am saying is that you don't make enough vs one early raiser to make up for the 7.5 to 1 odds. this has a negitave expectation because of the 88% of the time you miss. yes you still might win some of those when you miss, but continuing the 88% of the time you miss in the long run throws away $. i am done with the subject. good luck.

Um, yeah. So you're still folding, despite what Sklansky, Miller, and Malmuth collectively have to say on the subject?

This is just wrong. It's wrong for SFer and wrong for myself, and wronf for others on this forum. It may not be wrong for you, if you don't know how to proceed on various 8-less boards, and if you don't know how to react to your opponents actions when 0, 1, 2, 3 overcards fall. You don't continute blindly, but rather you play good poker.

Somehow, I doubt that.

You can clear this whole issue up rather quickly by telling us where you went to school. Or your SAT score, that works too.
