Ha, it took me a sec, but MP is the co in this hand. So you got a CO min raise from an unknown and you are playing for 13-14 BB's. You probably have odds to just call and hit a set or flop overpair, so calling is better than folding. I'd just push. Seems like lately these CO min raises are not very good hands.

Since he's been fairly quiet, just call. You're very deep. I push TT+,AQ+. Folding is ok too, because you can potentially get trapped on a decent non-set flop.

i like to call as well and if it is a nice flop for the eights i push that way things like AK and Aq will fold instead of racing.

If villian contiuation bets, its going to be impossible for you to continue. Are you just going to shove a 57T flop? I think that this is a shove or fold situation. I lean towards a shove though. I think I have a huge hole in my game, because I am NEVER EVER calling here. EVER. |

I don't think calling is terrible. But I agree that we really don't have room for anything post flop without a set. Folding is probably best, but calling is not TERRIBLEE.
