I would expect a bet if they hit the flop and a made straight doesn't make sense on the turn. I figure them to be on a draw or just over cards.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB$3.56:///////;BB$0.40:///////;UTG2$1.75:///////;MP1$0.80:///////;MP2$0.34:///////;MP3$2.03:///////;CO$1.34:///////;BU(Hero)$2.49:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with 8:s, 8:d.
3 folds, MP3 raises to $0.06, CO folds, Hero calls $0.06, 2 folds.

Flop: ($0.15) 5:h, Q:c, 6:s (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($0.15) 7:h (2 players)
MP3 bets $0.08, Hero calls $0.08.

River: ($0.31) 2:c (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero checks.

Final Pot: $0.31.

Results follow:

Hero shows a pair of eights(8s 8d).
MP3 shows high card king(Kh 9s).

Hero wins with a pair of eights(8s 8d).

Hi,

Safe, standard line against an unknown. Against some players you'll notice they c-bet air/good hands on that flop always, so when they check to you on the flop and bet the turn they'll only show up with TPNK/88-JJ stuff that they're pot-controlling then valuebetting.

Hope it helps.
