Hey folks
Just gone out of this $5.50 rebuy 20k guaranteed on stars and thought I'd see what you think of the hand. Blinds were 1500-3000 ante 300
I picked up 88's utg and min raised, got called by lunga100 then re-shoved on from another player behind the caller. I then thougtht and re-shoved thinking the original caller may go away.
They both called and i lost the race to go out.
Just wondered if anyone thought I could've played the hand differently??
Cheers for your thoughts....

If CO is good thinking player, he could often flat big hands in this spot. There is two small stacks in blinds and he hope them to wake with some quite good hand they would like to shove cause they think that there is some dead money in the pot if CO often fold.

You really can`t fold a lot under 20bb stack specially when you have open from EP, but if CO is good player fold could be an option. If CO is just some stationish/weak player I would definitely reshove.

I think it`s +EV to openshove 88 too, but that line looks exactly like the hand you have.

Hey Superhandz!

Pretty standard minraise/deceide with your stacksize. If you get a 3bet at these stakes you can fold against most players still with 18bbs!

In this spot the shove is obv! potodds are too great and you have enough fe!

Greets,
