I don't think you can bet that river. And you should raise preflop even if UTG1 is tight. You will get cold-calls from loose players behind or get a chance to get this short-handed.

Is it standard to raise w/88 in MP? I ask because most of the books say you limp w/PP's under 10..

Just curious. I hate playing middle pocket pairs; any insight appreciated.

thx

Many people (esp. here) like to raise EP/MP with mid pocket pairs. I personally don't, though, but I think the EV is about the same both ways.
