If we assume villain plays it the same, whether he has A8/AA or only trips then it's a mistake to fold

Great job dudes.

Only point I would disagree with is the flat pre from the SB with 6889ds deep vs an open and 3 calls. The pair sucks, 9/8 high suits probably won't serve as anything except blockers vs higher flush draws and it's just a pretty reverse implied odds hand in a 4-5-way pot especially from the SB, OOP every street. Also very slight change BB squeezes makes it a bit worse.

I really liked John's input on the KT6tt hand where we can consider xcalling flop with QJ99 as PFR in a single-raised, heads-up pot. Pretty good spot to sometimes mix in a check-raise as well so we can see more turns cheaply sometimes and don't have to c-bet as much on a board with low FE.

Enjoyed the series, wp wp.

I think this bet sizing has alot to do with how the villian perceives us...

I assume that villian thinks hero is very aggressive, so I think the chances are much higher that he is purely just betting to induce a bluff raise from us on the turn. Obviously this is a really good spot to lead out again cheaply representing the draw, but against an aggressive opponent I don't mind this line.

Like you guys said, we could bluff raise, meaning you were thinking about it... This automatically gives this bet credibility imo.

@DJ Sensei.
You say we don't want to fold out the thief, that's fine. But what is your line when;
It's checked to the BTN, makes steal.
We flat the $14 bet.
Iceman Raises POT to $86 total.
BTN folds.
Hero???

Obviously calling here is just awkward, and combonotorically AA and A8 aren't that likely. (As first poster said, we're 53% against AA, A8 and A!8)

Do you just back ship it in here?

Could villians range include alot of KTxx with near to no redraws? Maybe a KJT9 with a gutshot to go with it, that didn't want to put in alot of $$ against our range?

I could concievably see him turning KT into a bluff on the river, as it's not betting too thinly. On the other hand, there isn't much worse that he can fold out since we don't have many sets that would check the river here... Maybe we make a crying call with T986 or something...

Yea, we ship because we don't have any idea which turns hit him or don't (aside from an ace or 8), so we can't fold to a turn bet. If he has a weak Axxx hand and the turn is something like a K or Q, he might even fold and we don't want that. Easiest to just get it in and see how it pans out.
