Say you are in the big bling and nobody raises and you have (8,5)
Flop comes (8, 2, 3)... you are first to act
should you bet? and what should do you if you get raised? |

If your bet might win you the pot right there. I usually check and figure out if I'm folding raising or calling based on the action.

Probably fold. Maybe peel one and then fold unimproved. |

anyone with two overs will call your one bet, unless the table is exceptionally tight, or the pot is so small nobody cares if you steal it.
with a 5 kicker i would not bet the 8s. especially multiway. i would see the turn for free and then if it happens to be lower than an 8, i would bet/check-raise to end it there.
more often what happens is the turn is an over and you just wasted your money on the flop.
