Who cares about his calling range when he's bluffing so often?

you should care. it dramatically affects your overall equity.

This is why I think it's much better to do this with AJ (not that calling pf with AJ would be good, but you get the point) rather than 88.

Saying what hands you'd rather have makes no difference. [censored] I'd rather have top set every hand. You look at this individual hand in a vacuum combined with reads. Shoving here is +EV, because he's bluffing so often. Of course when you get called you're crushed, but his calling range isn't important because shoving is +EV with 88.

We can discuss the merits of calling the flop having a higher expectation; however, pokerstoving his calling range is stupid because of course it has us crushed.

Fonkey,
I can't believe you just said this. You know better than this.

And kaby,
Thanks for correcting my math.

edit:

Also to add results
<font color="white">
He fires flop, I flat called.

Turn came a 5.
He fires again like less than half potleaving $68 or so. I said [censored] it and shove. He calls and shows 77. And I hold.
