Are you really considering folding this?

I call very quickly and expect to see QJ

What kind of read did you have on SB ?
How did he get so short stacked this early ?
If he is a donk then I expect either QJ or KJ.
If he has a set of 8's and pushed fearing a straight draw then oops. But, it isn't as likely since you have an 8.
I would have expected a raise pre flop from the SB if he had 10's or Q's with that many limpers ahead of him.

He may have QT which would suck but, I'm callng this here.

SB lost his chips by bluffing on multiple streets.

Like you, I thought that 88 was unlikely due to there being only one combination possible. I extended this reasoning to opponent possibly having TT. And I thought if someone limped with QQ and caught a set, then bully for them.

Also, I widened the SB's range for check-raising due to his shallow stack.

I see people responding saying call. I actually pushed, figuring I wanted to get rid of any other straight draws or two pair draws. Hmm.

Result in white:

<font color="white"> SB has top two pair.
BTN has straight.
I am drawing to 2 outs. </font>

[/ QUOTE ]i agree but that doesn't help him in anyway in this hand, btn smooth calls and shortie still pushes.
