i'd shove TT, but 88 is too low.

pretty sure checking back flop isn't that bad either

i think a flop check would be borderline insane w/ given image. people are going to peel real light and possibly play back light. not to mention we are giving a free card on one of the best non-set flops we can get w/ a strong but vulnerable 88. i think it's closeish between calling and pushing but lean towards call.

Normally yeah, but look at this flop.

What are they playing back with besides a flush draw? Even something like 76ss is still better served taking a line that isn't exploiting Shaun's possible spewiness.

And I definitely disagree that this is a great flop for us. I'd much rather have a K75 flop or something than a flop that is going to either give us no action or all-in action with the 2nd worst overpair when we are behind tons of two-pair, sets, straights, and better overpairs and ahead of nothing but a flush draw and a (arguably) poorly played pair + draw.

there are 0 hands in his range you are way ahead of, a few hands you're way behind and a few hands you're flipping against. I'd probably fold and take a walk.

i'd fold in this spot... i think he made it 2500 to try and induce you to come OTT knowing you were tilted, i'd like to believe he has a set here

would you really check a set on the turn with three to the straight out there. Still I check it back to him hoping to call a small river bet.
