88 bluff

I think this is fine.

Question to hero: what would you do if he pushes the flop?

Pushing the flop would mean he has a very strong hand and I cannot call.

Stół: 9♦T♦7♠
       Equity  Wygrana  Podział
MP2    17.20%   10.61%    6.59% { 8h8s }
MP3    82.80%   76.21%    6.59% { TT-99, 77, J8s, 86s, J8o, 86o }

When check raising, you should generally favor those hands that could call a push.

Then your raise is not that good. I am not a fan of folding equity.

I don't like the way Hero played the flop and prefer calling because we have a madehand and there's not really a need to turn 88's into a bluff here. I would rather do it with other 8x below A8. Btw, on this board the only hands that cann call a push are top 2pair and better. Does it mean that you have no semi-bluffing range here?

I agree, 88 is not the hand to bluff with here. Other than that - well executed. (And smart bet sizes. Turn bet could be a tiny bit bigger.)
