Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BB with 8♣ 8♠
1 fold, MP calls $0.50, CO raises to $2.50, 2 folds, Hero ???
A tight shortstackers isolation range will be
66+,A5s+,KTs+,QJs,A5o+,KJo+
here, against which 88 performs with a slight edge. The times he has to fold everything but 66+,A8s+,KQs,A9o+,KQo will make up for the flip I have when getting it in against this range + deadmoney.
The fish will be limp/coldcalling sometimes with a very wide range though. If he does so this hand plays terribly in a protected pot. What do you do?
Spoiler
Hero raises to $7, MP calls $6.50, CO raises to $10.25 all in, Hero calls $3.25, MP calls $3.25
Flop: ($31.00) T♠ T♦ Q♠ (3 players - 1 is all in)
Hero checks, MP bets $11.55 all in, Hero folds
MP showed 5:c 5:s
What do you think about postflop? Getting in 20BB preflop and folding vs his actual hand is pretty badly -EV, but I figured most of his bluffs have 45%+ and he is seldom going to purebluff the protected pot without foldequity, which he in fact did.
