Default Re: $33 - LV6 - 6 players - Call push with 88?

[ QUOTE ]
Player E has raised all in UTG before, with more than 10xBB, and has stolen the pot every time. (I can't reall call it stealing, not knowing what he has)

My stack is getting short ... and this may be close to the lowest pair I would consider calling with.

This changes it from an easy fold to a close fold IMO.
Factors I'm looking at-
1) There are no huge stacks and no mini stacks. This is going to be great for stealing blinds, and I think your opportunities to steal will be of a greater $EV than your opportunity here. Again, I'm not on my computer with SNGPT, so I could be off here, but I'm going with my gut.

2) Ok, this guy is likely stealing, but he's not really really desperate, so we can't say he's stealing for sure. Often these ehh kinds of reads are all we've got though, so you really have to go with your gut. If 88 is borderline for what you feel comfortable with calling, I would fold. It is close though. For me, I would autocall with TT+ and Ako, and fold the 88.

I think the stealing opportunities are just going to be too juicy over the next orbit or two.
