Small pocket pairs still haunt me...

[TripleH68]

$5-$10 live. 10 handed. Triple has 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif MP2.

Pre-flop: call,Triple calls,MP3 calls,4 folds,button raises,SB calls,BB folds,MP1 folds,Triple calls,MP3 calls. Four players...SB is maniac, MP3 is calling station, button is by the book predictable.

Flop: 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif,10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif,10 /images/graemlins/club.gif
SB bets,Triple calls,MP3 calls,button raises,SB reraises,Triple caps,MP3 folds,call,call.

Turn: 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif.
SB bets,Triple raises,button calls,SB raises all-in,Triple caps, button calls.

River: 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif.
Triple bets,button calls.

Results later. Question is how many of you muck 88 in this position 100% of the time? How many callers do you need pre-flop to make a small pocket pair profitable? This seems to be the biggest leak in my game...thanks...

i would play it the same.

[TripleH68]

oops. My starters were 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

[Brain]

i'd play 88 there as well.

Button turned over A 10 which made sense.
SB showed 10 7o and took the main pot with 10s full.

This is obviously why the hand was memorable, but led me to wonder if I should be playing hands like this to begin with...
