Whoa...

[ilya]

I would call, the pot will be just right on the flop

[Heffer]

i've seen this type of players make this bet with JJ. they are scared of overcards and don't know how to play those middlepairs.

I would just call and reavaluate on the flop

just fold you've invested nothing

folding is the worst option of the three imo. call and take a flop or 3bet and get it all in if he wants to.

[orange]

his 8xbb raise is semi alarming. thoughts on making it like $2 and folding if he shoves? (and c/f-ing most flops if he calls)?

Really ? Villain raises nothing (thus not trying to steal anything) for 10-12 orbits and out of the blue comes an 8x raise.

What range do you give him .. JJ+ and AK ? Say we hit the flop. Against QQ/JJ our implied odds reek, against AA/KK we've got a good chance to go busto. Only the very best case (A on ragged flop against KK) might pay off. And still not talking about UTG.

Sorry, I pass on this opportunity. I fold. (though I 3bet against a player with a wider raising range)

this is only over 64 hands he could have just been card dead.....
I still 3 bet this oop or at least call I cant just open fold AK preflop like this
