ive found myself in this spot on the flop at least once per day- called a 4b from the blinds, check the flop which has 1 or 2 overs, and get shoved on from anywere between around pot to x2 pot.
i recently decided to start calling these virtually every single time (i have to have been super active 3bing from the blinds on that table). quite literally taking the fish line of thought process "nah hes FOS, he has to be bluffing... i put him on AK" lol. reasoning behind this being that my opponents dont value bet big hands like this, and they expect me to either have a set and call (unlikely) or have nothing and fold (very likely). so this is just some big stupid levelling game.
like i said, ive made this call in similar spots (funnily enough ive pretty much always had 88 too) and ive been right every siiiiiiingle time bar once- and that one time villain was a fish and turned out to be value shoving aces.
does anyone have any kind of opinion on these spots?
fwiw, 820 hands on villain. hes a std 25NL reg. 19/17, opens 58% of buttons. folds to 3bs 69%, 4bs 19%, and that gives him a 4b range of 3.2%
