Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy Elephant 0.60 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BU with 8♦, 8♠
2 folds, MP1 raises to $0,20, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $0,20, CO calls $0,20, Hero raises to $2,00 (All-In), 5 folds.

Final Pot: $2,75

First of all, please note that I wasn't using the stats during the game.

So here's what I thought.

Considering minraises as limps, I had 3 limpers in this hand.
Standard bet would be 0,70. But I figured that if I got reraised I'd go all in and of I just got called, I'd c-bet all in.

88 is not such a nice hand on the flop.. so I figured I'd increase their fold equity by just shoving it at once.
Is that an alright play when I've got marginal hands?

Looking at Mp1 stacksize alone, I think he is rather bad so I would have shoved this one as you have to RR 5x which is 50% of your stack.

88 is a preflop hand and you want to be headsup with it Preflop before going to the Flop otherwise you lose Value as in -EV. Well shoved.
