Hi!

If you would be playing againt a good player in MP2 then this flop is not so good for you as it seems.

Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 41,508% 38,894% 5,228% 55,878% AsJs
Player 2: 58,492% 55,878% 5,228% 38,894% 88+, AJs+, KQs, AQo+

I would play it passively therefore calldown.Problem with agressive aproch is when turn is really bad like this one. You beat practily nothing (88 maybe) and your outs are pretty poor too. Strange as it may seems I have nothing against just c/f on the turn as long as pot is rather small.

This guy however is not a normal dude as he is a blind poster so his range is much wider here and I like your line a lot and thoughprocess too. Raise flop for value and protection. Turn is b/f and once he just calls you have to make another valuebet against AT,A9,lower pockets maybe. Playing c/c is pretty bad as he will only bet better hands and c/f is too weak for 1:8,75
