Its confusing, but considering that OP talks about "pushing" I think this is NL.

A little more info, a converted and easily understandable HH and a clear title would make this post much better.

Yea my bad, I read over it quickly, saw the word limit and assumed this was LHE. After that I hit back and reload so it wouldn't come up as new. My bad.

Anyways, I assume this is a HU MTT or the end of a STT? What site, buyin, how has the opponent been playing, etc? If there was a magical way to play a hand like 88 PF when facing a raise without reads there would be even less variance in this game.

Pocket Pair higher than 8s: (24/50)*(3/49) = 2.94%
any two unpaired Broadway cards: (25/50)*(21/49) = 21.43%
AK/AQ/AJ/AT = (4/50)*(20/49) = 3.27%

I think that against a typical player you will have the best hand Preflop the vast majority of the time. I would think that he would raise with approx. 15% of hands that aren't paired, so you're a 5:1 favorite. Maybe only 4:1, so we'll say 4.5:1.

If I'm a 4:1 favorite Preflop, I want more than 3x the Big Blind being paid by my Opponent to see a Flop.

i kind of like this advice but he needs to be a tight nit post flop so that it could get checked down. if he's just tight but will cbet then you dont likely get implied set odds to just call do you?
