I've been arguing with a reg about the call OTF. Which I consider standard instead for him is terrible.
So I guess I'm just looking for some third-party opinion here.

Squeezer is reg who squeezes 5% overall over 2kh and pretty much fit or fold post.
Fish involved in the hand is playing 73 18 after just 10 hands.

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 8 9

Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, CO calls 3 BB, BTN raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, Hero calls 6 BB, CO calls 6 BB

Flop: (28.5 BB, 3 players) J 7 6
Hero checks, CO checks, BTN bets 14.5 BB, Hero calls 14.5 BB, CO calls 14.5 BB

If you are calling pre you should be calling for 1/2 pot and a straight draw. CO is going to flat behind extremely often so you need around 20-25% equity which should be easy to get through implied odds, even with the reverse implied odds on the hearts since CO seems to be passive and will be the most likely to have it. That is discounting the times you get a free card if btn checks behind turn. Not expecting loose passive fish to blow us off equity very often, but if the CO does shove over the bet OTF and BTN calls you are getting the right odds to call anyway since you only need 25.5% equity and are getting about that vs sets, flush draws, and overpairs. If you aren't calling on this flop you shouldn't be calling pre IMO.

Pre is meh, why are you playing with 87BB? Flop is a call.

87BB strategy of couse Lose less against regs and win the entire stack against fishes.

Flop call is fine
