Preflop: Hero is BTN with 8♦ 9♦
MP2 raises to $3.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $3.50, SB raises to $11.00, BB calls $10.50, MP2 calls $8.00, Hero calls $8.00,

Flop: 9♥, 6♠, 7♥ ( $46, 4 players )
SB checks, BB checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets $27.00, 1 folds, BB calls $27.00, 1 folds,

Turn: 7♠ ( $100, 2 players )
BB bets $100.00, 1 folds,

I think I can call preflop because SB and BB are big fishes and I have position.
BB is 71/25/2,0
Is my bet on flop OK ? and I think I cant call now on turn ?

Preflop i call too. U have position + u are deep.
I´m checking back the flop since i don´t wann get c/r and have to give up. Rarely a worse hand is calling if we bet.

I thought I can get value from FDs and bare 8x hands, also protect from overcards.

maybe I'm too cautious. I guess I don't mind the call preflop for the reasons Becks gave but I think we need to be willing to just let this go on the flop. We have top pair with a weak kicker as well as an open-ended straight draw where our outs may not be clean. I don't think any over pair is folding here and even A9 has us crushed unless we drawout.

If there were :diamond: on board I think betting out is fine. Otherwise I check behind, planning to fold to any action.

The turn is a very easy fold, I think.

Pre is ok.

On the flop I'd probably also go for a check.
For 100BB I would probably bet (and obv call a shove due to the good equity) but 190BB deep we'd have to fold to a c/r and even if the opponents just c/c
a) there's a decent chance we're behind and
b) if we're ahead there are a ton of scarecards on which we may end up folding the best hand.

As played easy fold on the turn, I think it's safe to assume we're always beat and we don't get the odds to call (maybe he even has a FH so we have almost 0% equity).

Variance giveth and variance taketh away.
