Set mine w/ 88 in position?

[Dialect]

Here's a common situation I'm unsure how to handle. Villain is 17/14/3.25 over 230 hands. I haven't noticed whether he 3-bets light or not, but I've been opening a lot preflop.

Do you set mine here?

you can play on some flops where you don't hit sets too

so I guess you're gonna float good flops? Which ones are good for floating?

Are you sure you understand what "float" means? If you flop an overpair and call/raise the c-bet, for example, you aren't floating.

I have no read on his 3-bet so I assume his range is weighted towards higher pairs (ok assumption?). So in my mind, it would be a float to see if he shuts down on the turn. Anyway, you know what I mean and this isn't a forum to argue semantics.

It depends entirely on your ability to play postflop.

when i asked about good flops to float i expected the answer to include at least a couple which contained and overcard.

I call this 80% of the time. Then just play your game. seems std to me. his AF seems a little high, but meh. don't go nuts. don't call just for set mining though.
