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.

1) Yes, I was in the bb

2) I'm not sure if Q8o or Q9o should be my cutoff for defending in the bb

3) I wasn't planning on going any further than the flop unless I improved.

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?

i think defending here is ok...and i still prefer a more passive line given the board and your hand...
