Seriously?

I'd iso-raise here and see a flop then reevaluate. Our villain does look nitty, but 20 hands isn't a huge sample.

We're in a sit n go not an mtt. If you really want to re raise anything less than shoving is awful imo.

88 is a good hand, I'd probably shove

Yeah I ship this, stack sizes are awkward and I don't want to have to play a flop oop with 88.

Folding is lol bad, you can call and profitably set mine here.

OOP = Out of position I presume. Hero is on the button. He's in the best position.

Villain Min raise is scary, looks like the first time he has raised. He either has as super strong hand (AA, KK) or is a donk. He bets 200, you need 12 times as much to set mine(harrington says 20). You have 2400.

If you re-raise be prepared to play for stacks(you may have to shove). But I think shipping is too risky, what do you put his range of cards to be. 88+, or even aj,ak at worst. No need to risk all your chips yet.

You can be caution call and analyse the flop. Folding is weak unless you think the blinds will make a squeeze play.

Since Hero is the button there's no talk about oop guys

I think flatcalling and seeing a flop isn't that much of a mistake.

I personally think I fold it and save my chips for the push fold game (not that confident in my postflopgame either + we have to fold most flops with overcards and we might be behind if we flop an OP).

Ignore misread the hand history and thought we were bb vs a btn raise for some reason.

I now like folding.

This is a bad idea. We only have like 24 bbs. I jam since we has the 88 with a perfect reship stack against a guy playing 24% of hands...
