I'm not even in this hand, 88 in EP is a sometimes I do sometimes I don't hand for me .. but it just made me smile to be at this table:

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, Hero folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, SB folds, <font color="CC3333">BB caps</font>, UTG calls, Button calls.

Flop: (12.50 SB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG calls, Button calls.

I'd have folded even pocket kings on the flop faster then superman on laundry day.

With backdoor straight and flush draws and a huge pot?

Also, at Party $.5/1 you should be limping 88 in EP every time, unless of course there's a raise in front like in this hand.

They were suited. Worth a cap in my book. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Kopefire - so you are saying you love micro because you enjoy making a very small amount of money?

no, I love micro limits because I enjoy playing against people who will cap betting in early position with something like Q3s

I have no problem with pocket kings staying in with the pot as big as it is. But I just love someone who will cap the betting in EP preflop with Q2s.

I mean . .if it was Q3 I could see it .. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've heard that before .. but frankly, I've had at best marginal success with 88 and 77. I don't think my post-flop play is good enough to sustain a steady diet of those hands yet, so I tend to not play them in a raised pot, and even in an unraised pot, I probably muck them 50-60% of the time from EP and MP.

...but frankly, that's a poor way of playing +EV hands.
