What weaker hands will MP x/c flop with? It't very bad to do it with Ax or 8x so I check flop.
What about shoving turn?
As played, I guess we are good often enough to call.

Betting flop can never be that bad imo. It's not about getting weaker hands to call. The advantages to betting are i) we protect our equity and ii) we protect ourselves from being bluffed on later streets. I would imagine both betting and checking are reasonable options on this texture.

Turn is pretty tough, could easily be AK that checks flop here. Could be some 9x hands for the chop and could occasionally be some bluffs. So I'd call turn and evaluate on river.

I think river could be a marginal fold when the board pairs. Best case scenario is we are chopping, but he can have AK a decent amount. He may just realise value is thinner on paired river and hence is smaller sizing, but that doesn't necessarily make us good more often vs his range.

Why is it bad for MP to cc AK, AJ, 8x?

I meant A2-A7, for which it is obvious, sorry.
How are we going to play 8x OTT? If we x/c such hands on the flop, any opponent that picks up on it will just barrel us off. I'm having problems with such hands, so I'd like to hear opinions.
