ZOOM gutshot + flushdraw + bottom pair

Think I may just call turn, you do have a good number of outs. But being oop and villain betting less the 2/3 pot I think a call is the best + ev play.

Cause even if you hit a 9 you don’t have the nuts and same with FD. If you had A7. I like this one a little more, cause now you have the nut flush draw and if he has a j you have 3 added outs with the A.

On the flop I think you need to bet larger if your going to bet. I dont think we will have much of a range advantage while being OOP i think we should opt for a polarizing bet since this board hits Co’s range pretty well, I think this is a good draw to polarize with.

Agreed.
Your pair is bottom pair, and you aren't drawing to the nuts.
 If opponent has a set, another 7 won't help you
 An 8 OTR makes two pair, but will only help against overpairs, and might make COs straight
 flush draw is weak.

I also have 9's to a straight, so in that sense an A8 kinda hand doesn't change too much except for having the nutflush ofcourse...
