    Default [25NL] 98s...Turn top two

    BU - 45/27/3 (3bet) over 127 hands.

    SB - 8/7/2 (3bet) over 112 hands.

    MP - 53/27/0 (3bet) over 16 hands.

    PokerStars - $0.25 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    MP: $27.91
    CO: $36.42
    BTN: $43.09
    SB: $25.00
    Hero (BB): $25.11
    UTG: $34.70

    SB posts SB $0.10, Hero posts BB $0.25

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has 8 9

    fold, MP raises to $0.85, fold, BTN calls $0.85, SB calls $0.75, Hero calls $0.60

    Flop: ($3.40, 4 players) 8 3 7
    SB checks, Hero checks, MP bets $0.25, BTN raises to $1.25, SB calls $1.25, Hero calls $1.25, MP calls $1.00

    Turn: ($8.40, 4 players) 9
    SB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, BTN bets $3.00, SB raises to $10.71, Hero ???

    If there is ever a time to fold top two this is it right? A complete nit has called flop and raised turn...I don't see him just calling flop w/ an overpair or something like JT. Looks a lot like 65 or a set, fold and move on?
    Currently grinding live cash games. Life is good.

    I would lead the flop for about half the pot here. Protection value is enormous when you have 3 live hands against yours. For example, say SB has A5, MP has AJ, and BTN has QT. In that situation they all have nothing hands but a combined 11 outs vs your hand. It's sort of a semibluff as you'll often have the worst hand when called, but your hand can improve to trips or two pair, and a lead into 3 people is not a lead to be fucked with so you'll get to showdown when your hand is good, most of the time at least.

    On the turn I'd expect SB to show up with JT a huge huge amount of the time here, and I def think he peels the turn with it for only 1.25 into 3.4 on a rainbow flop.

    edit: I see he's 8/7. I still think he can have JT suited, but I think he'll have a set whenever he doesn't have that. It's an easy fold IMO.

    I'd probably just fold the flop when the sb nit comes along on this texture. Turn is a clear fold imo too.

    Flop lead is definitely a good idea tho.

    fold and move on?
    I mean, he could have QQ, but not as often as he has you crushed.
