Re: push with mid pocket pairs?

yeah about that, how come 88 is only a 54% shot over two overcards like AK? doesn't AK only have 6 outs?

Well, it has more than six outs because you can make flushes, straights, as well as hit your A or K. Also, you have five cards to hit your outs which makes it much more likely to occur than if you just have, say, the river left were six outs is about 15%.
So, AK is essentially a coinflip to a underpair when you get to see all five cards.
