Greetings!

Disclaimer: *If I could go back, I would NOT play it the same way. :)

I'm asking for advice on the best way to play this hand in the future.

I Have no reads on Oxota, he joined the table a few hands ago (Btw, congrats on finishing 5th) :)

As Played:

Check/calling: Generally, I think this line is the worst way to play the hand, we narrow our perceived range to Jx+ and we get no more value from 55-88/draws/bluffs. If we take this line, We should be prepared to fold river to the all-in as he's almost never bluffing. As played, I prefer open shoving the turn as we get value from the 55-88 in his range.

Alternative line:

Flop check/raise all-in: This widens our range to include the flush-draws in our range, so we get value from the mid-pairs plus fold out his overcard hands with 15-20% equity.

I look forward to seeing the replies.

If you got this far, thanks a lot!

Regards.
