What are the blinds?

Same question as c9-- it could have a big impact on your strategy.

Assuming blinds are relatively low, and your opponent is loose (and maybe passive), you first have to consider what your opponents range is. He could have just a small PP, but he also could have played with an ace, almost as weak as A8. hands like KT, QT, JT are also considerations, if your opponent is very loose.

So here, your hand is obviously behind a lot of his range. If you bet, he's likely to be calling with all of his ace holdings, and he might also call with his tens (even though an ace is very much in your range, a loose player still may call, obv). So a cbet would be quite unlikely to succeed. As you suggested, a one chamber "bluff" to push out the small PPs and other weak holdings may be worthwhile, especially if the blinds are low, as long as you decide to cut your losses on the turn. This hand would be much easier if you were in position, unfortunately!

What are the blinds?

Blinds were probably 200/400 since the pot was 2800 after 2*1100 non-blind bets 2800-2200=600=400/200 Only other one that I can think of is 320/160/15
