I feel clueless the entire hand, what do I do

ez fold pf unless u have a good reason why your 88 is good here.

Since you aren't to sure how to play the hand postflop, you can probably let it go pre. What are villains stats? Have you seen him 3 barrel before? How often does he cbet river? Have you ever seen him bluff?

Assuming you call pre, I feel flop and turn are ok. But readless I let this go on river. He 3bet pre, so all big pairs are in his range. It's TT+ or air by river I feel.

Thanks for the answers. calling the 3bet pre was probably a mistake, but yeah I want to try a lot of different hands out while learning, it's worth paying to see how people play, so it's not all value. Also stats on micros are a lot of times useless since I only have something like 30 hands on them. But yeah sure I should be folding to 3bets with 88, thanks

It was only a fold bc of his 3bet sizing

What should the 3bet sizing be here (normally) and how do i calculate it? 7c to 21c isnt that weird from my perspective but am i wrong?

usual 3bet sizing is 3x the initial raise size (so if you opened 3x; the normal 3bet size is 9x -> maybe 10-11x if he is OOP)

Thanks, misread my raise (5c instead of 7c)

If he would raise to 0.15 would it be valid to call then?
