2/5 overpair gets check raised on flop

Why so small pf? I'm surprised you only got one caller.

Don't use 1/3 sizing on this board. You should bet 2/3 or 3/4.

As played call and plan to call down or gii on pretty much any card except for an A.

So never fold an over pair. Got it.

For 90bb on 8 high boards with a ton of draws yes.

Agree with all this although a flop 3bet is a tempting alternative. Straddle has all the sets, no two pair, TT-99, lots of 8x, lots of diamond draws and probably some hands like A4cc. I could go either way. What would you do with AQ?

I'd call A♦Qx combos and A♦Q♦ and clubs

fold the rest.

Ton of draws? Like what? Vs range is all big diamonds, some 8X and 88-TT. He called pre with multiple players behind.

Edit: ehh forgot about Ad4x and Ad5x .. could have some of that. Anyway, calling the x/r. I'd like to point out in the other thread people wanted to fold AJo on a JT7r to a x/r at 900 eff. Now you want stacks to go in on a 8-3-2 two tone?

Need to go bigger pre. At least $70-$80. Raising 5x here, V is going to have a very wide range in the straddle.

V's flop x/r seems most likely to be a set raising for value and protection. But his smallish sizing is odd. It could indicate a draw or top pair.

I don't like a 3B, because we'll have to fold to a jam. Also don't like a fold. I think we just have to call.

If we don't spike a T, but V checks to us on a brick turn, it's probably safe to bet. If the turn completes a flush draw or wheel, and V checks, we can turn our hand into a bluff by betting, but if V calls, it'll set up a difficult situation on a lot of river cards, where we'll have to decide if we want to barrel or give up.

50 pre is just a pot sweetener, you need to go much higher to like 80 as well as otf.

How I would proceed depends strictly on the villain. This doesn't seem like a bet sizing to fold you out, so what value hands can he have (all the sets and even 2 pair getting a great price to call pre and probably assumed more ppl would come along).

I don't like going broke here in general, even though after the straddle it's 90 bb's but we still started the hand with almost a thousand bucks in a 2/5 game after someone decided to straddle.

I lean highly towards folding without any reads but that's just me.

Pre is too small. I go $75/80 depending on table tendencies -- maybe even higher.

Flop is too small. I'm calling and proceeding cautiously. Reads would be very helpful.
