Re: I didn\'t protect my hand so I\'ll just play two random cards

If you're holding an 8 high (which is -EV against 2 random cards if you both see the river) and someone offers to give you $12 in place of running the hands, you should obviously take it.

No. The BB did not have a hand. $6 limpers, $12 raise by the 87, and the $3 blinds. If I'm the 87, it's "Give me $21 and let's move on to the next hand or I call your raise, you have no hand, and I win your remaining stack." The 87s had all the power, why should he even consider the BB's offer?
Even looking at it from what happened:
$42 for 87h to call
...pot becomes total of $115 ( 2*54 + $6 from limpers + $1 sb)
87s is 47.936% vs random two cards.
$115 * .47936 = $55.12
$55.12 - $42 call = $13.13 "profit" vs $12 "profit" taking his $12 back.
