MP1 (t3930)

CO (t2450)
Button (t745)
SB (t2105)
Hero (t3055)
UTG (t2710)
UTG+1 (t1640)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t30, MP1 calls t30, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t30, Button calls t30, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t180) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>

River: (t1470) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Final Pot: t1470


I was hoping to induce a bluff on the river by checking, one of these guys is clearly on a draw but I am not sure how good my hand is here to pick up a bet. No reads. What do you think of the play?

I think a value bet is safe here.

You won't get called often, and I'd definitely steer away from a large bet, but villains don't read for overpairs and readless you can't put them on deuces. So an 8 with a strong kicker will call here and that's why it's worth better.
