Maybe grab equilab and play around with some assumptions. Give the tight player AK, AKs, 99+. Give everyone else your assumed ranges. Does 88 have a pure equity advantage? Do you like getting 4 bet? That's a good baseline. Then you have to think about realized equity. The hot/cold sim assumes you get to see 5 board cards. With 88 and a guy with a really strong range, do you get to see all 5?
My assumption is that we're set mining most of the time, so we're wanting 8.5:1-ish odds -- it depends on your assumptions about how often sets win. We're not getting those odds. We're getting nice implied odds to suck out on a big hand with a bunch of callers. We have good position, meh relative position, and we're facing a nit who decided to put in more money. You can change those assumptions and come up with different advice.
