First night in Aria $1/$3 NL Hold'em... Villain1 (loose luck box) min raises to $6. Villain2 (TAG with Mt Everest sized chip stack) calls, and Hero in BB calls with T8; there is $19 in the pot. Hero has $94 in stack after call, and both villains have Hero covered. Flop comes T86 rainbow. Villain1 leads out for $12 and Villain 2 calls. What should the Hero do? There is $43 in the pot, and Hero has $94.

Dude, with all due respect, type out a proper hand history.

However, fold pre, or 3b. You don't have enough chips to 3b and play this ragged hand, so just fold. The hand should go no further than preflop.

Hi - Defending T8 seems pretty light, that said, with a flopped two pair on a board like that and no really unusual action on the flop, I would raise a fairly sizeable amount and frankly wouldn't be afraid to get it all in at that point if played back at.

It's agree with beanfacekilla, you should fold hands like this preflop considering your stack seize and that you're in a bad position. However, now that you did call and actually got a very lucky flop, you should definitely re-raise. As ccres said you shouldn't be afraid to get it all in with a board like this. But a raise is more preferable than just to shove

+1 for fold preflop, if you fold a rag hand like this and it comes then you can still hold your head high knowing you made the right play, but since you alrdy went this far, raise 3x to $36 and if they fire back as everyone else said AI is ok here, but whats to say someone doesnt have JJ QQ KK AA here or A10 here and turn comes 6 giving them a bigger 2pr, perfect reason why you should fold this preflop ;)

You are very short stacked so short stack strategy is to play big broadways and big pairs. You dont have enough chips to play this loose. If you were 100 bb deep than yes. You got a good floo for this hand. Re raise and go all in if played back. Best flop for 810

If you had 10 8 suited and were min raised by just the loose luck box I'm fine with defending here I think the problem in the hand is the call from the tag if this guy is legit it very well could be a trap by him with a set or a big pair hoping to bluff catch the loose guy but honestly if you call with 10 8 s even tho he called and hit a flop like this just three bet and jam turn unless board is paired where you do not hit a full house. IMO probably a fold due to the tag calling but not horrible play like people are giving you credit for. Also would surfed to buy in for more if you think there is a player at the table you think you can exploit

Once on the flop you must have the initiative of the table never come on the flop doing limp since it is a way to demonstrate weakness most of the cases not to say in all uses a cbet to make the pot bigger.
