Default Re: Interesting (to me) 88 hand

pre-flop -- i'd consider a reraise after button raises. if button is playing a strong Ace or KQ, you'd love to go heads up with some dead money in the pot. Try putting pressure on the two limpers to cold-call two. One or both may drop, which would be very nice for you. If they don't, you're playing this for set value or extreme undercards, but that's not so bad either.

Bleh, I think that's a better line than calling. It's only a shade short of 99, which I'm willing to 3-bet preflop. Isolation raise with 88 doesn't sound too bad. If he 3-bets it, then we know we're in trouble
