It looks like a flop where BB probably has to check-fold at a very high frequency, and JTs (even with the BDFD) presumably has to go in that x-fold bucket.
FWIW, I just ran Snowie's default MP range vs BB's default defending range on this flop in Equilab, and MP has 56% equity. It's significantly better for MP than BB, so BB really struggles to defend on this board. There are certainly no monsters in his range that MP can't have. (e.g. MP has AA, 88 and A8s, BB only has 88 and A8s. The few combos of 98s/87s aren't gonna outweigh all the AK/AQ etc). There are a lot of Axx flops where BB has to check-fold more than 50% of his range, even vs a 1/2p bet, and I think this might be one of them.
Yeah I probably should just x/fold in retrospect. Villain tank called AKcc and i felt like a dum dum. Probably should just x/c or x/f my whole range here since like a few other posters said, not having a XR range here is fine. Thanks guys!
