My plan is to bluff/protect vs overcards with this pair. I was thinking about raising flop but decided that its bad because I do not rep strong hands, too dry board.

Calling sucks also because overcards have good equity. Folding also sucks :) But at least I have 5 outs also. If I had PP, then I would have only 2 outs. So I guess it should be ok.

On turn I guess lot of better pairs can fold - 7x, 6x, PPs up to TT, overcards.

No need for betting the turn when having a proper showdown value. Let him bluff the river and win extra bb's.

better pairs will (or should) not fold. in any case, making overcards fold is ok.

Looks like a standard float to me. Better pairs might bet turn also. We have decent fold equity here and even if villain calls turn he might do so with a draw and we might still win the pot at showdown.

I am folding lot of better pairs on turn in villains shoes. You reallt think that pair like 68 should still x/c?

I hate to x/c turn with TT even, cause he has beat me often or he might bluff me out on river.

No one in their right mind is checking 8♣:7♣: here with the intention of calling. Some players would even fold a weak K. This is the power of floating. When we fire turn, the opponent is (should be) acutely aware that we might make a powerhouse river bet too. They'll rightly fold a lot if they can play (and they assume you can play decently too).

I like the bet on turn when the PFA stopped betting.

yeah you're right actually. i don't see a K ever being a fold in these positions though
