Default Re: 88 in the BB blind vs a TAG raise in UTG+2

Okay, I totally disliked this hand when I played it. I tend to play too damn weak tight sometimes. From the responses I should have donked the flop or since I checked, check raised and gone from there.

As it was, I wimped out and just called down and the villain turned over AA.

note: if you're calling in the blind and only playing for 'set value' then just fold here (there aren't enough players in to call PF using this concept)

[/ QUOTE ]Why not? Correct me if I'm wrong, but raking away SB, you get 5:1 on the call, closing the action; if your set wins 10% of the time you need to win 4 sb postflop.

Added the times where the 88 are good alone and I'm also calling this when button has folded.
