100nl - TT, lost...

[toohigh]

Villain is 23.7/8.9/1 over a large sample. His line confused the hell out of me, and I almost timed out before acting. I feel like this was either a tough call or an easy fold, but I'm not sure.

i think id fold...he probally has AA or KK, although he might be doing something tricky with AK/AQs or something, but with the 8 and 9 out there, any pair preflop basically beats you.

Why are you confused by this line? This is a totally standard line for 88 and 99. It's a change-up but not unusual for AA/KK. It could also be TJs but you have the Td so that's blocked.

Looks like a pretty easy fold given his passiveness.

b/c at the time I initially thought it really looked like a draw. However, like you mentioned, his passiveness sort of makes drawing hands in villain's spot unlikely.
