Default Re: 88 in SB, limped around preflop.

what everyone seems to be failing to "merge" on with their description of the situation is that players at this level are limping all of the hands that we have dominated/are far far ahead of with a ton of overlay and almost 1/3 our stack gone. so, when people say "just recognize that when you shove people are more inclined to look you up with speculative hands", thats a good thing. yes, sometimes youre flipping, but youre either flipping with a ton of overlay or youre way ahead with a ton of overlay, either way with a healthy amount of FE. take these things into consideration, and specifically relating to the pot size as sence touched on and not just how many bb's are in your stack.

again, not saying you *need* to shove here, and at certain tables perhaps i wouldnt, but if 88 is not a shove its very very close, 99 and TT are both shoves in this particular spot. when people state *avid* opposition, it just shows me people arent relating all of the relevant factors.
