Re: push with mid pocket pairs?
No, pushing 88 here is not bad at all, but I think I'd prefer not to. Marginally.
The reason being that, although you only need to be a 48.6% favourite to push (let's assume he will always call, as he surely will) his hands can certainly include AA-99. Which leaves us hoping his range is outside of 44+,ATo+,A8s+,KQs. Pretty wide for such a raise.
Now with TT, obviously the pairs dominating us are much fewer, his range can be much tighter, and I push without even thinking about it. I just worked it out for fun, 88+,AJo+,ATs+. Yeah, that's surely a push.
