BB defense

[jba]

i would fold to that turn c/r all day, this guy is very passive and when he says he has a hand after you've shown strength he usually means it

flop is a tough ball game. I mix it up between calling and raising there depending a lot on villain... here's the thing a lot of guys aren't going to fold 88-QQ here like EVER, in which case what is the point of raising? you are only folding out reverse dominated hands like A8+ right? there are some hands like QJ/QT/JT/Q9 etc but not a whole lot, he's going to have a PP 66+, Kx, or Ax a lot of the time here.
some guys though will fold those pockets and i don't mind pretending I have a king here against those guys
