Fine. Pot isn't big enough to look him up in my opinion.

I'd just check fold the flop. 4 people have VPIPed and there's 2 cards in the playing zone. Chances are someone has at least a better Q or a K, or a strong chance to draw out on your very marginal hand.

Re: Mid Pair no kick against a drawing board....
I don't like it, though the pot is still pretty small, so it's not that bad. Given villain's pfr%, what's he limping in with utg? There's the remote possibility of a big pair, but it's more likely someting like QT or Q9, or two diamonds. I like calling and betting into him on the turn, since the second eight might appear to have helped you more than it did. If raised again, it makes this hand a little easier to get away from, though it would be a bigger mistake to fold the best hand (or a chop) in a bigger pot.
I'd like to know what the others think. |

Very well, check/fold. Tiny pot, weak hand, out of position.

Re: Mid Pair no kick against a drawing board....
check/fold the flop. You can't beat a Q or a K and the pot is small. Nothing here worth fighting for. SSH has an example similar to this, 2nd pair, no kicker, small pot.
You got a free BB play and the flopped basically missed you. Fold. |

Re: Mid Pair no kick against a drawing board....
I probably play it the same. The backdoor flush is enough to keep me interested. On the flop I think you can give yourself 6 outs, and I like betting out better then check/calling. I can't really see check/folding to one bet on this flop.
