Re: Another 88 hand
In the past I’ve hemorrhage cash on small and middle pairs. Am now having a re-think about how to play these hands. I think only value of small/ middle pairs is for a set. To that end I wouldn’t raise pre-flop.
If you take the position that 88 is a premium hand and worth a raise pre-flop, you couldn’t get a much better board than this (just one relatively low overcard). So, if I were you I’d raise the flop, but as I’m me I’d fold (….unless my pre-flop limping had kept more players in…and improved the implieds).
