Default Re: Whoops I flopped top and bottom

felix's analysis is pretty sound and would apply well in an online game, however live many players happily limp 88-type hands so i think bottom and mid sets are both a potential worry.

When it comes down to it I don't feel thrilled playing for my stack with top-and-bottom pair in an unraised pot against not-terrible live opponents, so I would probably call and re-eval turn, usually calling again, and keeping my options open on the river depending on how he plays draws / made hands etc.

edit: actually 60bbs deep I might be willing to get it in, but i'd probably do whatever encouraged the most spew - calling flop and donking a blank turn could be an effective bluff-inducer from a semibluff that wants to maintain its fold equity and recognizes the line as blocking-ish.
