I would c/c a 1/2 pot bet. I doubt he's calling or betting river w/ less
zackg in the BB is a 24/4 fish so I think this is a very std open. Even if he was replaced by a reg in the BB I'd still consider opening this hand.

imo, where our value comes from with this hand depends on who we're playing against. Against a stationy fish it comes from value betting. Against a TAG reg it comes from semibluffing with good equity and sometimes from hitting TP and being able to get to showdown.
