Sitting in the SB with a stack of 130 dealt 58h. MP player limps stack is about 350. Button calls. Hero completes in the SB, BB checks. Flop 886 rainbow. Hero checks, BB checks, MP Checks, Button bets 10.

Hero raises to 30, BB raises to 75 all in. MP reraises to $150, putting hero all in. Button folds, hero has $100 left.

Hero??

No reads? Reads are super important when making decisions. Readless, this seems like an easy fold.

Fold pre. Lead flop.

As you said - reading is very important. Hero is BB in this hand and it is an unraised pot.

Oh, I see. So 2 BBs? I kept seeing Hero act before BB so I assumed SB.

Three suggestions:

1. Read the title of the thread.

2. Read the hand history: Hero raises to 30, BB raises to 75 all in.

3. Try to do what's important: reading.

I usually play pretty tight in SB. Folding pre. As played fold.

In the other poster's defense, OP says that he's sitting in the big blind. I mean you can figure it out, but it's still pretty annoying when people post incorrect hand histories.

Edit: He also says "blinds check" instead of "I complete in the small blind and the big blind checks". Honestly it kind of sounds like this is a hand he doesn't remember too well and isn't sure where exactly he was LOL

Everyone will stop with the insulting here.

OP, please clarify up your post. Are you the SB or the BB?
Also, in the future, please be careful to post the action correctly.
As you can see, if can cause confusion, and will lead to different suggestions on what you should do.

Thanks,

Fold pre. Bet flop you'll get called by a 6, 77, straight draws. AP, fold, no need to get broke with a marginal hand in a limped pot.

You can't beat an 8 or 66 so yeah, probably a fold

Moderator should lock this post. Its not worth taking the front page. Dude, worst hand u can be against is one with 8. And what kicker u have ? 5 ??? Its a LIMPED pot. Instead of wasting your mind and time on this hand, spend on some valuable hands and spots.
