So to be sure that I did understand well : you push 1480 in a pot of 80. I like it a lot, obviously.

As we have learned from my QQ-thread, earlygame is not about accumulating chips.
It's about pushing flops to win small pots.

Can we go back to the initial question ?

Re: $27 Have you already busted out 1st hand w/ 83o ?
 

I go pot-pot-push here also. The turn was a pretty good card, something like a J or Q would have bene harmless too, but I dont see how you cant take this line

Re: $27 Have you already busted out 1st hand w/ 83o ?
 

I bet the turn smaller and the river too, I guess.
Like 1/2-2/3 pot.
But I guess I'm a bit too weak in those spots.

push flop/turn is obviously bad, IMO.

I like your flop/turn line but I don't like your river push. The 9 is a semi-scary card as it completes a st8 for 76 (something that could easily be in their range). I can't see an overpair playing like this so what are we beating here??

Re: $27 Have you already busted out 1st hand w/ 83o ?
 

I play this the same way op did. 2 pair with 83 is probably the best hand but it is vulnerable, so i bet the pot on flop and almost the pot on turn. The river push is fine.

i dont overplay 2 pairs on the BB in a limp pot specially when you betpot and you get 2 callers on the turn. the limpers might floped a set
