Eff stacks $500 @ 1/2
Hero makes it $12 in EP with 88 over a limper, V makes it $36, Hero calls
Flop ($75): QJ8sss
Hero ??
V is a mid-20s hippie type girl who's been playing really weird/semi-aggro and seems ok/bad. She 3bet me in a similar spot earlier and showed 44 when I folded pre.
However, in another 3-way hand with me in SB, her in BB and another drooling V on BTN, I saw a ddx flop go c/c/c where I led the turn with TP, she and BTN called, river was a diamond and both of us checked to BTN who bet 1/2 pot (~$40) and she tank-called with 56dd, saying she was scared of higher diamonds and considering folding. Everyone was lol-ing @ the slowroll.
Another hand I saw her raise up T4o then cbet some board and take it down after proudly showing it and giggling away.
She keeps raising $5 straddles to $20 often as well so she's pretty aggro but just blind-aggro it seems.
Hero has a TAG winning image and she seems aware of that.

Let her bluff at it and check/raise. Call down on safe runouts.

Interesting spot, seems like she's aggressive but is pretty scared of monsters. I think a b/b/b line is probably best here. We can easily get the money in with like 60 on the flop / 150 on the turn / shove for last 200 on the river. I don't really ever see her folding KK+/AQ/Any Axs (on the flop definitely, maybe finds a fold of the turn).
I think a CR may allow her to get away from some of the hands that would call us down if we bet.

I can go either way. If she's scared of monsters I think it's going to be tough to get anything on this board. I don't think she's going to take a stab at it with air, so leading and having her call with a Q or draw is OK.
If she will c-bet regardless, just check/raise and get something. I just hate letting this board check through.

being that it's quite obvious shes bad at hand reading, b/b/b line looks the best.
i guess you could convince me shes aggressive enough to set up a flop c/r but you really need to weight the risk of it going check check and getting a poor runout.

X raise seems best vs an aggro that c bets too often. I really hate the times we lead and she just folds her air. If we check raise we get value from her air and value from her pairs plus spade draws.

With description I think leading flop is the best approach.

Are we really just going w this hand after check raising if she jams? On mobile so no stove; but it didn't even seem like we're that far ahead of JJ+ and AK when the overpairs or AK contain a spade. Maybe I'm wrong but she does seem capable of folding everything else given the 56dd hand. I guess maybe we gii vs AsQx sometimes.
I like a b/b/b line until the board hits a spade

I think she is c betting for sure, so ima c/r, shove brick turns. Without all those damn spades I like a slower line to keep her in the hand.

Why not check/call, and bet on safe turns(no spades)?
What happens if we check/raise and she shoves (even with hands like AsQx)? Will be able to call, even if we are ahead 75% of the time? (AA-JJ, AQs+, KQs, QJs, AQo+, KQo, QJo)
