Weird preflop checkup

[MitchL]

If the blinds are tight I would 3bet. If they are fishy-loose then I would cc.
Also, one of the main considerations for 3betting a tight opener and ccer w/ 88 is that you will be getting the button most of the time. If these guys are prone to burning money anytime they see a pot developing then one of the pros of 3betting goes out the window and on balance probably tips the scale in favor of ccing.

im not exactly sure of the game dynamics, but i would imagine that im probably cc'ing with any pair lower then TT maybe JJ in this spot. the two blinds will more then likely come along and probably one or two other randoms, and its a pretty easy hand to get away from.

but i think just calling with 88 is probably the best.
the way you run itll come down A88 with 2 hearts, someone will have KThh someone will have AA someone will have AQo and you will win like a 3k pot.
