Darn it I paid my installments let's see the goods, layaway!

[slavic]

I've been thinking about 88 quite a bit lately. In reviewing old hands I came across this one that I thought might be interesting.

Anyone have alternatives to this play?

MP1 is quite loose, not nutty, and raises a little less than he should. The Button is one of those TA players who seem to populate this game.
