Best to minraise/ call here (or fold)? I shoved because I thought against these opponents they might just call my minraise and then that would leave me having to play a potentially tricky flop OOP

Extremely standard to shove 88 and any pocket for that matter. Effective stacks behind are so small that nothing else to do. With QQ+ I might go for minraise if table is fishy enough. Minraise-folding would be last line to take versus anyone.

Hello all,

As ghaleon said, standard shove. We can raise/call here with TT+ or JJ+ for value.
