Definitely bet the flop.

With an underpair against a significant field and a preflop raiser, giving free cards is not a big concern. You are frequently behind, don't put money in drawing near dead when you can check and have them clearly tell you that you are dead.

If it gets checked through and you actually are ahead, you can evaluate the turn and go from there.

This turn is not raise or fold.

You realize you only have 88 here, right? If you're playing on, it's time to start cleaning some outs.

I just thought with all the preflop action that I should follow the "no set, no bet" idea of limit HE.

Where did this idea come from?

Bet the flop, check the turn and if bet into, check-raise.

If you bet the flop, the turn is a perfect card to bet with again.

Thank you for the great responses. I know that results do not prove if anybody is right or wrong but here goes. On the actual hand I was just about to fold when something from within made me raise the turn. When I raised everybody folded back to the BB who called. He checked the river and I checked behind. He only had A6s. Yes!!! Perhaps I was lucky, but I also thought afterwards that I was right to raise.

If you raise here and get it hu with the bb on the river. If its a brick, is this an easy value bet when checked too?

I would bet the river if it's a brick.

I need to apologize. He had A7s. So he did have two pair but lower than mine.

I have to disagree with this. Is this a clear value bet? I thought he could have 99,1010,JJ....come on...

As a default, yes, I'd bet the river, expecting to get called by lots of weaker pairs. As you see, I think his most likely hand is a 7.

good luck.
