Re: 88 playing against no overcards
Yep, that about sums up the argument I was expecting. Unfortunately, against random blind hands, there are very few cards that will increase our pot equity enough to warrant waiting for the turn to raise. We already have over 50% pot equity against two players. Raise the flop for value.

Not saying we don't have alot of equity here, I'm just trying to prevent a bad habit forming of not putting opponnents on a range of hands |

But doesn't that the fact that the SB bet and the BB called mean random/semi-random holdings are a little less likely? Overall though when you put it that way I think we've got enough equity to raise. |

I think these players are capable of betting/calling with as little as a pair, an overcard, a gut shot straight draw, etc. I believe there is a large range of hands SB and BB could have at this time. |
