This has probably run its course so...

I think that this hand is perfect. If you want to get value, first see what the guy behind you does who has a polarized range on this flop.

As played, if you want to get super fancy, raise the river.

But I think the hand is sexy as played. Raising the flop is a good way to get owned and bloat the pot when the guy behind you has you crushed or making his fold more correct and easy when he has 2 outs.

nh.

I am fine with this, but once he folds I think we have to get in a raise against the donker.

Even though I'm OP, I have to disagree w/ a turn raise.

I'm basically even money against even an optimistic opponent range in this spot (any ace, 88, 55, suited 85). And since there's no way I can fold to a re-raise in this spot, since my read on this guy is that he's capable of playing TP-Any kicker like it's the nuts, I think I have to be much better than even money OTT to pop it.
