What does that flop push accomplish? Any KQ/KJ hand will probably continue betting into you, considering his stats. You obviously won't fold an 8. You're not afraid of any overcards or flushes. The only benefit I could see would be for metagame purposes, and in general, I don't see a need to examine metagame when dealing with super LAGs that you think play poorly.

meh, id just smoothcall flop and go from there

Looks good. You want to get all the money in. Generally I think it's better to just call his c/r but you know the villain best.

it doesnt matter how you get the money in here as long as it goes in

Pretty much, you are going broke here.

I'd probably bet a little less on flop and just call his raise with intentions of getting rest in on any turn.

It's more likely that you'll be able to get it in on the turn with a bet there though.

i agree and thats how i play this hand, just saying this is acceptable w/ a read that you wont scare him off

call flop, push any turn.

Unless he's capable of bluff calling your flop push with QTo, you want to call his flop raise and let him fire again on the turn.
