To me this is a raise or fold situation. A raise may gain you control of the hand, if they are inclined to check to you on the turn. Plus, its not fun to fold 10BB to one bet.

How much fun would it be to be 3-bet on this flop? Or, since SB is decent postflop, to be called and then c/r'd on the turn?

You're thin on the flop, but probably have enough to call, especially as you should be able to make up a big bet or two if you catch your 8 on the turn.

unless you think you can make him fold another midrange pp with a raise here, just fold the flop. calling down is pretty bad

hero folds flop as he is way behind 99.9% of SB's 3-betting range

First off, I dont' see how this is WA/WB, because I don't think you're ever way ahead. Even if he's betting a whiffed KQ he's got outs. You could possibly peel one off on the flop. If you don't improve on the turn, I think it's an easy fold.

The flop call is very thin, but doable with the pot starting to get big and you closing the action. Fold the turn if you don't pick up a set or a strong draw as you are way behind most 3betting hands.

What if the turn is checked to hero? I'm thinking of not putting in another dime UI turn and river, one way or the other.
