88 3Bp 3bar

Any info on villain would be nice and your own though process.
That makes it easier to give good feedback. Especially if you want to start a advanced discussion.

Okay, I know you are not supposed to fold A9 here. Obviously, call down with TT.

But, I don't know about 88. It's close. If you are not comfortable just fold.

It's a very good TBAI on villain's part with his 3bet range, imo.

I would normally call on this river except...
 an SB 3Bet range has a lot of Ax hands in it, and OOP they can exercise "the right of first bluff" so calling down seems fine ...
 his aggression throughout has indicated that he has something better than Ax though
So without some prior knowledge of villain's behaviour, this has to be a fold OTR

I'm more interested in hearing what people have to say about flatting 3Bets with mid-sized pocket pairs.

This! For me it any easy fold with 88. Dont ask me about TT... since I wouldn't feel like call either(but this is to nitty)
Since there is no Flush on the board and u hold with 88 and even TT significant blockers for straights, I really think he has it!

I play'em like HHHuBi, but I start 4betting with TT some of the time and Villian depended even with 88.

I think its a call.

Flat everytime, can mix in some 4bet/folds not more than 10% of the time.

I think if BTN has way more 9X in his range he can call 9X+, 77, 5X and fold everything else.
If he has limited amount of 9X in his range, then probably follow what itsnevereasy's ranges showed

im probably just folding 22-44, 66 and calling down 88, 77, 9X, 5X. people aren't double-barreling this coordinating turn light in my opinion which makes his 3-barrel range stronger
