Ship. We’re not folding any better pair but they are a very small part of our range. He’ll look us up with most 8′s, and I sometimes see calls from this type of player with just two overs.

yup, this is one of those kinds of hands and boards where it will just get worse with every card that comes out. i’d shut it down right here.

Quick tip of the hat to the General….
I’ve messing around with your value-overbet play from earlier this week and I’ve found it to be very successful in a variety of different situations – I especially like using it with a reasonably disguised monster (particularly straights, flushes, sets, etc..).
I’m amazed at how many people will call with crap like bottom pair on a dangerous board.
Thanks for the new toy
