Default $26/180 small overpair mid game

Hand converter didnt have stack sizes and other info. This is a 180 person tourney on full tilt. There was about 40 people left when this hand happened. Blinds were 150/300 with 9 people and a 25 ante. I had about 9K or so, good for about 15th or so. This guy had about 6.5K. Average was about 5K.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of 150. BB posts BB of 300

You left out stack sizes, which are important.

I get it AI, you will run into set sometimes, but you'll also run into like A5/78s/clubs type stuff.

Not a good spot for your 88 - even if he has a flush draw with 2 overcards you are a underdog in the hand and from the lower PP one half has made a set. i can see a fold here.

why did'nt you raise this pre? If I don't raise this pre and I'm not sure what to do to a raise why bet out on the flop? Personally I like a C/R here and have some trouble seeing him with a big pair...

Did you OPR or DB him?
