Playing 9 handed $1/2 game with half agro players mixed with fish. Hero has $185 to start.
UTG +1 opens for $15. Two callers in EP and MP. I’m in LP with pocket 8’s. I flat. The button is a TAG player who raises to $35 total. Button is ABC-ish at times and will raise position often. Pot is now $100, and orig better UTG1 calls as does one other player in MP. $140 in the Pot, and I am assuming most folks will advocate tossing in the $20 to see a flop (Im also closing the action). I don’t hate a fold, if you have specific player info, but against this player I’m never folding.
Pot is now $160. Hero’s stack is $145.
Ok. Flop is 567 rainbow. And it folds to me. My read is this flop hasn’t connected with UTG1 or MP. What’s our play? If button missed, he’d likely check back a flop that was less likely to hit his range.
