    Default Flopped full house, best way to extract value? ($27)

    Early, no reads other than SB is a super calling station. Am I better off betting the flop or should I check behind on one street to see if they can catch up or try to bluff? On the turn, call the bet and see if they bluff the river or try to build a pot now?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB (t2945)
    BB (t1360)
    UTG (t1500)
    UTG+1 (t1420)
    MP1 (t1470)
    MP2 (t1390)
    Hero (t1960)
    Button (t1455)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 8, 8.
    3 folds, MP2 raises to t90, Hero calls t90, 1 fold, SB calls t75, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t300) Q, Q, 8 (3 players)
    SB checks, MP2 checks, Hero checks.

    Turn: (t300) J (3 players)
    SB checks, MP2 bets t180, Hero raises to t360

    I just started rereading NLHE-T&P, and early on they discuss flopping a very big hand. They suggest your best option is to assume someone else flopped a big hand too. The reasoning being, you're not going to get your whole stack in unless someone did, so treat the hand like thats the case, otherwise you're not getting your whole stack in either way.

    I guess thats the decision we need to make here. Do we hope someone has a Q or a PP and is prepared to commit money in the hope of getting our stack in, or do we try to extract a few hundred chips by taking a more passive approach...
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    With your read on villian I would bet the flop, about 1/2 pot and take it from there.

    As played on flop I would just flat call the turn hoping SB will call behind and MP will bet river

    Early on I think you need to lead the flop to build a pot. It isn't that raggy of a board, plenty of draws. 1/2 pot seems good to start out with. I like your minraise because you want any flush draws or open ender's to throw some more chips in before they check/fold bad rivers. It also gives you a better chance to double up vs already made hands
