bet TPTK on the flop, and learn when resistance is a "sign." for instance, you raise pf oop and get a caller or god forbid you call a 3bet) and flop J 8 5 rainbow and you have AJ, but get raised when you lead out. thats a sign.
the 86s flopping big? yes, that will always be the case. but sometimes you will go what feels like a week w/o "flopping big."
