NL10 Pocket 8s against a LAG reraise

[King Spew]

First, I'd like to say something good about your table selection. OK, here goes:____________________

Secondly, I would like to say that against an unknown but aggressive (so far) player, I'm going to push back at the villain $3ish early on in a session. I need reads against the aggros for a table to "work" for me.

The thing that MIGHT get me to fold here is that he is not in my blinds and I'm not in his blinds so we will likely not tangle too much over the next 200 hands.

88 is not a great hand, but it's ahead of his range IMHO. I either don't want to go to flop, or I want to see all 5.

? Most of the players with stats like that are spewtards at this level. Stacks were better proportioned when I first sat down. Hell, most tables in 40 hands have exchanged at least 1/3 of the original players for new ones. I keep track of the table stats and leave when it gets rockish. There seems to be a huge # of new players in the last week or so (WSOP ME?) so its been a crap shoot.
