No reads on Villian, what do you think of raise PF , is 88 no strong enough to raise UTG+1? Once we make it 3x and we are shoved should we lean towards calling or is it ok to let this one go?

Hero (UTG+1): t3660 M = 10.17
MP1: t6000 M = 16.67

Pre Flop: (t360) Hero is UTG+1 with 8

1 fold, Hero raises to t600, MP1 raises to t6000 all in, 5 folds, Hero requests TIME

decide how you are responding to a rr all in before you decide whether to play the hand and how much you should raise. as played its an easy call.

ugh pretty nasty spot.
this is a 45 right? no antes?

if you're raising with 15BBs you need to decide beforehand whether you're going to call a shove (or just open shove).

i'd probs call here because that massive overshove is so often AK i guess, but i'm not happy about it.

Gotta call as played, openshove anyway. You don´t want a flat to happen with 88, most flops are crap / just doesn´t play well post when the pot is half as big as your remaining stack gtd.

You need like 40% equity to call as played, I kinda doubt you're getting it tbh. I'd like to see what SNGWiz says about open shoving here..
