Re: 8,6 soooted anyone?
You don't really care about what his opening standards are with a hand like 86s, what you need to consider are you implied odds. Is this an action Dan fellow who's going to throw a mountain of money at you if you make your big hand? If not, you might reconsider (conversly, if he's very predictable you'll realize more equity than you actually have when you semi-bluff, your 8s and 6s will play a little better too, though small pairs can't really be "paid off"). Against a tough player who falls somewhere in the middle (either by accideny or on purpose) you'll be less inclined to call. It's usually pretty playable here. I'll toss it if I'm involved in a few other hands and play it if nothing's on the run.
