Re: Why did you checkraise?
I agree. Raising here forces your opponent to make a decision and your hand becomes very easy to play once that decision is made.
1) Your opponent folds - this is good
2) Your oppoennt 3bets -...

Re: SB defense holding AA
I think you played the hand fine on the pf and flop
How loose is bb? If he's loose I'd prolly try to bet/3bet the turn as CO will think you're fos and pop you. W/any luck you can also trap BB in...

Re: 88 - I cold call
I'd just toss it on the turn. Your description of the cold callers as loose passive makes me dislike this raise. They will bet when checked to but this isn't a spot where they will be betting a...
