This seems like such a standard flop call

You’re over repping your hand. If it was Q high or J high, say Jxx and you had KJo, I think solvers like raising some % of the time but an 8 high board when Villain has every overpair is just way too thin.

Mmm is it that wrong to mix some raises with 8x on a wet board? especially if we want to raise some fd/sd/combodraw, 87/88/77/33 isn't enough to balance I guess? or should we just lean more towards calling vs villain's range?

I don't think raising is that bad. Our hand almost always gets worse on future streets and V's range is very wide sb vs bb. Getting him to fold two overs is favorable, especially if we think he is aggressive and likely to barrel multiple streets with air.

Dude you were the first to say "start with a call". :O
Am I being leveled?
Oh wait, maybe you were referring to the 3bet.

What's the worst hand we should be raising for value on this flop?

I’m not sure about this specific combo on the flop. We would obviously rather have a

in our hand and wouldn’t we rather have 98-J8? We have more equity when our kicker can backdoor into a straight draw or our

can backdoor into a Flush. So those would be raised first OTF.

Maybe we could split our range by just calling Q8-A8/raising 98-J8,because the Q-A our good barreling cards for our opponent? I don’t think I raise enough on flops like these, I’ll run a SIM on this spot when I get home and post it.

This is why we don’t raise the flop. When we get 3bet we have no clue how to respond. We shouldn’t do much raising on this flop in general.

Precisely. Bizzare spot because the pots bloated and we hate all turns. Why not just flat and keep in his air balls and semi bluffs if he’s aggro

Because then we end up having to bluff catch with a hand that turns into 3rd pair most of the time.

We win so often with a raise that the rare times we get 3bet don't really matter. I think we can exploitatively fold to the 3bet because at these stakes the population doesn't balance correctly. If this guy happens to be balancing correctly we should be pretty indifferent to calling or folding with this hand.

Solvers raise this flop like 6% of the time so effectively we should never raise flop here.

sure, but add in the fact that sb will overfold and under 3bet and all of a sudden we should raise quite often...

You hate getting 3bet argument is definitely not relevant esp in those stakes where that very rarely happens.

Anyway I called and the hand went check/check turn and river on a couple of bricks. Villain showed KK.

That's what I thought at the moment and what his stats said. But since K8 no diamond is the worst value raise in our range aren't we overcalling a bit when he 3bets?

He might be fairly aggro and we're bvb but I don't think that a nl10 reg will start 3betting flop and then barreling light that often. He checked two streets with KK after all.
