So all the players at the table were playing super aggro calling and raising every other hand. I was on a little heater until this hit me so i also had a wild and crazy image.

Open raise pre. As played, just shove the flop, raising tiny looks a lot stronger.

Post in the micro stakes forum. And please don't ask if it's a cooler if you want objective responses.

think i should open raise with 4 people in? i had been raising a lot and it probably would have just caused a reraise that i wouldn't have been able to call. also raising with low pocket pairs into a multiway pot is that a good idea? just asking thanks for the help

If you think it's likely that you will be re-raised because all the players at the table really are as aggro and crazy as you say then you certainly don't have to fold a hand as strong as 88 to a 3 bet.

It's good that you're thinking steps ahead ("if I raise and I'm reraised, what do I do?"), but you can't discount the situation NOW, before that possible reraise. 88 at a four handed table is a strong hand. Raise for value. If you are reraised, then take that situation into account at that time, based on opponent/stacks/position, etc.

Limp-calling leaves you in trouble AND if they are raising light even hitting into set is no quarantee you are going to win big pot. a) you might hit but still be behind b) you might hit but they resuck with say straight or flush draw c) opponents were raising light pf and ergo won't have hand they feel like stacking off...

you really need people to tell you it's +EV to stack off with a set at an aggressive table?
