88 vs 3bet

I would rather face 3-barrels and check-jam the river

this also allows you to turn some 1p hands into a bluff.

Yes i can turn something into bluff, but on river we can use only around 1bluff 2 value, and on flop 2bluffs 1 value. So if we raise on flop, advantage is that we defend more bluffs by raising, and EV of his bluffa decrease. With raise on river, we just protect river range. This is dey board so it makessense to slowplay but imo on turn should be raise, as he will have more draws in range.

What draws is an MP that 3b's UTG preflop going to have on this (or any) turn?

The thing is that we have far more medium strength hands than monsters so it probably makes more sense to slowplay your entire range for range protection purposes.

Who knows what bluffs he uses. I dont 3bet from MP. Before i did it with only AA, 78s, 89s.
So on most turns i would have at least 2 combos fd. It is small number, but since i bet 6 combos AA and 6 bluffs, then draws are significant % of my range.

I protect range with AA. I dont 4bet anything, i dont see the point to 4bet vs so narrow range.
