    Default Big blind woes

    Should I just muck on the flop here? I am worried my kicker is no good.. Just sat down at the table, so no reads.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    CO ($236.35)
    Button ($397)
    SB ($474.50)
    Hero ($600)
    UTG ($627.15)
    UTG+1 ($493.75)
    MP1 ($873.35)
    MP2 ($240)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, T.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $6, 1 fold, MP2 calls $6, 2 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($24) T, 6, 2 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 bets $12, SB calls $12, Hero calls $12????, UTG+1 folds.

    Turn: ($60) 3 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $30????, MP2 calls $30, SB folds.

    River: ($120) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP2 checks.

    Final Pot: $120
    BR now: $106900
    Playing now: $10/10/20 - $20/40 NL live, $10/20 NL full ring online, $10/20 NL 6-max online, $20/40 FL 6-max online, $100/200 FL live
    Goal: $125000 for $25/50 NL live

    I love it. It sets you up to be able to open steal on the turn against MP2 later on after smooth calling a flop continuation. Even when you don't steal he may respect you enough to give you cheap cards when you're drawing if he wiffed. It's valuable what you did here.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    turn bet is a little weak and may get raised by some aggressive players (like myself), but thats pretty much how i go about playing that hand.
