Default Re: Your move with 88 here?

I went with push because this looks like a reasonable steal from his seat. Your read on him matters a LOT here. Has he been stealing often? (easy push) Has he never made a steal attempt and played very few hands thus far? (easy fold) In general, I'd think this is a bad spot for a coin flip, but the times that he folds will, I think, make this a good push if you think he's stealing. He may even be trying this with a smaller pair, which he'd almost certainly fold to your push.
