This might actually be a fold on the flop. The fact that I’m holding two 8′s makes it less likely he’s on a draw here. Bottom set is an easy fold. I was thinking he could have bottom set, but in retrospect KK is much more likely for him. I’m also not sure this is good pre-flop. I definitely wouldn’t play a random two pair like JJ66, and I definitely would play 9988 if it were double suited. With nothing suited, I’m thinking it’s close, but I don’t really know. I posted it on 2+2.
