Re: 8-8 hand - I suck at tournaments
While I do agree with your assessment the original post said "I was fairly certain in my read that I was against two overcards, probably jacks or higher." I based my response on this.
When a player raises, there is always that chance they could have a pair higher than yours. In your case you say a 20% chance of this. So, 80% of the time, you have a coinflip situation, 20% of the time you're a 4-1 dog, so you win the hand approx 42% of the time. Is this a chance that you take to put yourself in a commanding chip lead w/6 players left, I would usually take it.
