This seems obvious but the way the hand played out made me think about it. Give opinions.

Seems like an easy bet to me.

Otherwise, you shouldn't be playing 88 at all

There really weren't many better turn cards for you.




Don't be result oriented.
Betting is the standard play.

I bet and then got c/r on the turn.

The only reason I questioned the bet is because an aggro villain could take a check-raise/fold line with a pair of sixes and I don't want to get outplayed.

But i think calling a checkraise and a probably river bet is too expensive.

Thats why you b/f the turn against a straightforward opponent, and call down against a tricky opponent. Either way, you have to bet it with all the draws out there.

Yup. If I had a strong, player-specific read that his flop call probably meant top pair or better (in other words, he'd normally either raise or fold with his draws or lower pairs, but he'd slowplay strong hands), then I'd check behind. Otherwise, easy bet.
