Re: anyone slowplay this?
I guess your in the bb. I would fold this preflop.
This hand has almost no sd value and your oop. Q/8 is not a great hand to be defending your blind with. |

Re: anyone slowplay this?
if you believe you have the best hand do you make more money to raise now or just call and hope he continues betting a worse hand?
i think a call here is better, this is kinda a wa/wb situation ...taking a passive line against an unknown here will prevent you from mucking a winner to continued aggression, but will also get you some value againsta weaker hand.... |

Looking back at it, the only value in this play that I can see is if Villain will almost always auto-call a checkraise like this, but would never bet the turn without the goods. edit: Also, I'll be able to fold the turn UI if I'm capped or raised on the turn. |

Q/8 is not a great hand to be defending your blind with. [/ QUOTE ] It may not be great, but is it slightly +ev? Yes I know, either way, we're talking pennies, here, but do you have any evidence or expert testimoney claiming it's -ev? What is your cutoff Queen high hand that you defend with? |

Re: anyone slowplay this?
i think defending here is ok...and i still prefer a more passive line given the board and your hand...
