I think this hand is pretty standard except the flop play comes into a bit of a grey area for me. I bet, and then am raised by MP2, everyone else folds. At this point I am quite sure I have the best hand, and the board is totally uncoordinated. Do you like the call and c/r on the turn or no?

since its HU when it comes back to you raised on the flop, I'm fine calling and going for a turn c/r... if it wasn't HU then i'd be 3-betting.

The villian could be raising with 9T, looking for a free card. You can't really protect here, even with the check raise, so I would bet it out and make him pay if he is looking for the free card.

Looks like it worked out nicely for you. I don't really think villain is going for a free card here as his position sucks if he get called by the two players behind him. Nice hand.

I agree, and I just wanted to add that there's only a few hands that even want a free card (the only obivous one is 9T) on this fairly drawless board. Seems like a good spot to check-raise.

What are you doing to a 3-bet on the turn?

Hmmm, good question. Calling down I suppose. Villain here is a slightly loose player, but definetly would not have called a raise with J8 or worse. He would have 3-bet PF with JJ. The only real dangers I am up against is 33 and 88 I think. If this were the case, I might even expect him to slowplay as he knows I am betting into him. This is not necesarrily going to happen though. In any case, if he has 88 or 33, I will call down and pay off if 3-bet.
