[B]Hand 5 T8s[/B]
You definitely need to defend a decent suited 1-gapper against a SB raise. I also like calling the flop, even though you only have T high. This is a perfect situation to float, because you have some equity with overcards and a BDFD, and you are not calling only to hit. You are also calling with the intention to bluff, if he check the turn, which he likely will do quite often. He can have all the overpairs here, but he rarely have a 2 or 5, and he also have a lot of hands like A high, K high etc, that have missed completely.

On the turn you improve to top pair, and of course you should not fold now, even though you are still behind to overpairs. But I am not a huge fan of jamming either. You do get protection from random overcards, he can have, and maybe he even fold a flushdraw, since its a raise for full pot on a paired board. But overall I think, you are forcing him to play a little to perfect with this line. He is never folding a better hand, and he is rarely calling with worse either. If he has a hand like A5 or 66-77 and play it this way, he is probably letting it go, when you force him to make a decision for stacks.

So like in hand 3 I would just call the turn again and take a river in position. If he check, maybe you can put out a small bet for value, especially on a low brick. On an overcard most likely just check back and take your showdown. And if he fire again, make a decision. Most likely call, but maybe fold to a large bet on particular bad cards like an A.
