c/f flop for sure... you're getting called on this texture pretty much always

Btw your location changes like every single day.. and yes, $5 means a whole lot in this country.. haha

I like having those type of hands in my flatting range, and don't like wasting them when I'm looking for a fold pre, and they're not awesome as part of a merged range cause they don't dominate a ton. But even people who call tight pre stack of soooo light on these like T93cc boards with draws cause "lol fold equity+outs" that I think it can be pretty profitable to have like 98s/76s/56s type hands in your 3betting range.

fwiw I don't think 3betting Tx/Jx is awesome because KT/QT/JT/T9/J8/J9 are the kind of hands people like to flat 3bets with.

also like $5 is one 샹하이스파이스치킨버거세트, and I tend to play tighter when that kind of flavor is on the line.

Yeah, your point seems valid. I prefer 3-betting hands like 87s than Tx/Jx because of that very reason, i.e. domination. Actually I like it better than 3-betting with AJ-AT or KQ type hands, which I am gonna flat a decent amount of time (especially w/ AJ). But then again, I take most 3-bet pots down by a single c-bet on the flop anyway, and my actual hand only matters if I get called or raised, ldo.

Oh wait, I didn't mean to put in KQ there. It should read AJ-AT type hands really. There are cases where flatting is better than 3-betting w/ KQ, but that is beyond our point here imo.
