20/40 with 88 flopped set multiway pot
New player posts between in full 8 handed game
I raise UTG with black 88. Button, post between guy, and blinds call.
Flop Jc 8h 2s (5 BB)
Checks to me, I bet, button folds, post between raises, blinds fold. I call? (should I raise here?)
Turn Jc 8h 2s 2c (7 BB). He bets, I raise
Reason I'm posting this hand is because it just seems super strong to raise here on the turn, although maybe that just means I should have some bluffs here. The nice thing is that we unblock jacks which will likely bet/call.
No reads on this guy, never played with him before.

Seems standard. He’s not folding a Jack and he could check the river
Once its heads up and you are in position, just call
You might get more action if you 3 bet the flop if he has a straight draw or a big Jack and if he’s really aggressive he might even reraise. OTOH if he has a marginal hand he might fold when you raise the turn.
I play it the same as a default. I’d only 3bet flop against someone who interprets fast playing the flop as a sign of a medium strength made hand.

would you fold Jx or an overpair to this action? i couldnt unless it was a weak J.
