    87 or better, i wouldn't shove 77 and thats if i think it's probable that you call 69 (which from mastrs prespective i doubt he has any reason to think otherwise).

    i dont think this is interesting.

    I dont think villain has 77 much as I think he's more likely to get it in on the turn. I'm assuming this guy isn't bad although i would prefer some reads.

    Is his impression of your cbets rather polarized? So you're likely to check behind Ax and 87 on this flop but cbet all your draws? Really the only hand I can see you having here is 87 so yeah I guess I'd shove with everything > than 87. If he's seen you not cbet much and you can possibly have J9/96 on this turn somehow then I can see shoving with a flush but I guess that's a given.

    He is very good, a top 10 NL HU player possibly.

    He probably thinks I am pretty good.

    I don't think that many other reads are necessary. I think he thinks i cbet J9 100%.

    Oh wait, worst? Then I'd have to go with A 8 or Ah Jh. But I really think you have 8c 8s. That would be sick!
