Re: Dumping a big pair to 2 pair
There sort of isn't enough information to give you a correct answer here. Was an 8 his doorcard? You opened with a queen up and he coldcalled or was he the BI? Or did he limp, you completed and he called. If, for example, he caught running 8's on 5th and 6th, this is a diff scenario.
Also, regardless of the above, I don't think his raise with open 8's is telling you he has two pair. Unless he is a donk, he may be telling you he can beat queens up. Or, say it's 6th and the 8 wasn't his door...maybe he is raising for the option of a free showdown since you will prob check anything but a boat or trips to him. A lot depends on the player and the context, which you haven't really given.
