Default Re: 162 Mid pair Spot

I call pre and call the flop.
People folding 88 here.
What is the biggest pair you are folding? Assume you will flat qq/jj some percent of the time here?

My calling range depends on the read, but if it's an unknown I'm probably folding everything up to 77. As I was saying earlier, you should probably fold 88 as well preflop if you are playing for what Bakes calls "set/overpair/oesd" value. If that's a +EV approach, which I doubt, it's pretty marginal. If you're playing it adding in value with position, taking away hands, etc., then this one of the many spots you should be looking to do that against an unknown given his range when he bets and how much of that will fold if you call and bet a checked turn.
