88 flop cr I'm lost

[cbloom]

Villain was bad (loose/passive preflop) but not remarkable and ok postflop.

No Limit Hold'em Ring Game (6 max) , 6 players
Blinds : $0.10/$0.25

Stacks:
UTG : $86.65
Hero : $25.15
CO : $21.20
Button : $24.65
SB : $6.75
BB : $23.50

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is MP with 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif
UTG limps, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $1.20</font>, 4 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif ($2.75, 2 players)
UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $4</font>, Hero calls ($2).

Turn: J/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($10.75, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $6.50</font>, Hero ???

Also, anyone like 3-betting the flop? Or just fold the flop? (hard to fold to a min raise)

Call flop/fold turn against a passive villain

BTW he's not passive postflop just preflop - like 40/2 preflop. Seemed pretty average postflop.

[kolotoure]

That makes it closer IMO. Probably is still a fold tho

[creamfillin]

Fold the turn, probably limped with tens or something, either that or he made a set.

Could this not also be A5 or A6?

Rarely.

Fold the turn, otherwise it looks OK. Don't 3bet the flop.

tha J didnt seem to scare him much. callin tha minraise on tha flop is automatic but u gotta lay it down on the turn when he fires again

My standard line here is to 3bet about 12. If he calls i put no more money in the pot, Unless i know hes an huge idiot and stacks off here w/ tpnk or second pair. I put him on a 4 or 6 for tp. Since we called his minraise and he bet agian I dont think hes on a draw so ur 88 is probly beat more than half the time. But im not sure.

Why dont you guys like a 3bet? Is it a bad leak i have?

because you have to put in half your stack to "see if your good".

Okay, thanks guys, I've been out of it for a long time so I'm rusty and wondering how people are playing these days.

He showed T/images/graemlins/spade.gif6/images/graemlins/spade.gif BTW and typed "AK?" in the chat after I folded the turn.

Read the results (d'oh) but I was honestly going to advocate calling turn. Just something about his line doesn't seem strong. We're getting nearly 3/1 on our money in position on turn, and for that price I am not convived he doesn't have TP/random 4 often enough to make this a call.

I only call a modest small bet on blank river, but very often expect to see a check.
