OMG TY guys for all the replies! I didn't think this particular hand would generate as much debate as it did.
This was such a difficult hand for me especially given that this is a friend of mine.
I think some of you in you analysis of this hand seemed to disregard the relationship factor in the hand.
First off, the small reraise made me immediately think he is testing my bet. I know in other cases this means I want you to pay me off. BUT in this case he is a friend of mine so I took his mini raise to mean " Oh really... do you really have it?"
This particular person since they know me would highly suspect me of having 88XX, KAxx, K8xx, and this is why his reraise scared me. I thought "Oh no, I must be toast," and if not toast he has high cards to draw out on me with.
Here is how the hand ultimately went down.

LOL after I saw the hand he had I realized I was a favorite... although only a small favorite (57%) to win the hand.
It sounds like to me the majority say fold this hand. Although a good portion of you see good reasons to push at this point. In this case, I am thinking there could be a lot of really good reasons for a fold. However, I just couldn't fold the hand. I am just not that good... it was too hard to give up the boat.
BTW I DON'T get how I would really be considered SHORT? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
