Default Re: Do you go with 88 here?

if utg folds, button will see ~85k in dead money for a call of 55k. i don't think you're winning this pot without a showdown. the odds at this point are pretty high that you're up against at least one overpair, which is pretty unappealing. i fold.

The thing here, is that I'm much more "worried" about UTG's hand. IMO button (with the read I have on him and the play of this hand with stacks and position) can have a lot of crap he might fold if UTG pushes behind me. I think the scenario of UTG-folds-button-calls is much less probable, and actually, if it does happen, with the wide range I put button on, I still think its a very good spot with regard to the odds I'll be getting.
