Jason, I don't understand your point regarding 88 having enough value. Clearly, in this situation, pushing with 88 has *exactly* the same value as pushing with 22.

Maybe I wasn't clear (if I interpret these icons right [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

In this table, according to the OP decription which was repeated in other posts here, the range of hands that will call your all-in here will do exactly the same against 88 as against 22. You'll be either dominated by a few over-pairs, or racing against a very few big A combinations. The EV for pushing with 88 is therefore the same as for pushing with 22.
