new to NL, 88

I am new to NL, so feel free to berate me as necessary.

This is only my second hand at the table so no reads.

(bump) Alright, is this that bad of a question?

[Jouster777]

I don't think its a bad question just a hard situation...made harder because you didn't include stacks.

With full stacks I like a c/c flop lead turn.

Any turn or would certain cards slow you down? If so, what?

[CaptVimes]

At full ring without a read in a multiway pot this is a fold. Your calling the 88 hoping to flop a set. You whiffed, your not drawing to anything and your not closing out the action. Heads up with a read on your opponent this can play different.

Oops! I will put post the stacks later today. Sorry about that.

[/ QUOTE ]I didn't notice it was full ring so CaptV is probably right.

If I go with the original plan I think any scare card is likely to scare villain even more so I probably stick with bet/fold no matter what if BB folded on flop. If BB comes along I probably check/fold turn.

[Bobbin]

I fold with no reads. Your out of position, BB still to act behind you and seems like a reverse implied odds situation.

[mvdgaag]

I fold, but reraise around 20% of the time. If he has two overcards he is probably folding. If he calls you should give up. Reraising once in a while on a low flop like this helps out getting calls when you do have the set.

This might get fewer responses because so many of us play 6-max and don't want to give potentially bad advice on a full ring hand.
