I hate this hand...88 in SB

UTG+2 is 45/3, nothing on BB. After the turn I really wasn't sure what to do here. Check/fold turn? River?

If you're going to bet the turn and he isn't going to fold there i'm checking the river.

I would check-raise the flop if possible. When the second overcard comes at the turn I'm check-folding. But I work on the assumption that nobody has a Ten (which will be true almost 80% of the time) unless I can establish otherwise.

I agree with Deej. If you do try to buy it, is the guy capable of laying a hand down? the majority of low limit players are not capable of laying that ten down even after the queen and the king hit.
Maybe the majority is not the case but its close... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No way would I check/fold the turn in this situation. I would however check/call the river.

Would you call if he bets?
