100NL Pair of 8\'s w/ paired board
 

I've been playing 14/8/3 . . . in table chat one guy has ironically praised my "game"; another immediately chimed in that the first guy must be kidding.

Villain is straightforward. I've never seen him out of line; I've never seen him be tricky. Every hand he's shown down when he raised preflop has been a pocket pair, 8's or better.

When he bets out on the flop, I can't imagine that he limped with a pocket pair better than my 8's, and I just can't make the story make any sense with a 6.

first have the max buy in ... and it should make things much easier... either push or fold read dependent and if you say it looks like a cont. bet and just shove

Villain didn't raise PF. He called and potted the flop.

If your read is that he is straight forward, then this is a fold.
