Unsure about river but this seems to be one of my best hands to bluff catch as don't block JQs/o although if I'm calling K8o I guess I have hands like K9o to call with.

Cheers.

if villan is opening wide from the BU, 50%+ then a call is fine we have high 40% equity. Postflop starts to get a bit read specific, depends on how aggressive villan is. I would call down a maniac only, otherwise I would fold the river and some people possibly the turn.

Sorry I missed this part of the hand. I saw K8o and skipped the rest of the post. I will have to refrain from doing that in the future. Good points. Thank you!

Imo pretty std defend pre. I would only fold vs tight BTN opening ranges.
I don't mind postflop as played depending on how strong your read is. River depends a lot on your opponent (and maybe your affinity to embrace variance) but we have one of our better bluffcatchers unblocking hearts and most of his gutshots, he has a ton of possible bluffing candidates and I find that overaggressive micro regs go for it a lot (and don't vbet thinly enough).
Not to mention this calldown has metagame value, too.
