Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6457207, member: 397965"] Preflop Jamming is +EV, but you are quite deep for it, so the risk/reward is not the best. So all in all I think, its better to either limp behind and play the hand as a setmine, or maybe isolate small like 2,5-3 BB basically just trying to get it heads-up. This is not something, I do often, but the issue with isolating as big, as you did, is you create a very small SPR, where your hand play poorly. Putting in almost 20% of your stack with 88 and then getting action is the worst possible of all outcomes, so any other line is better than, what you actually did. Flop Welcome to awkward land. The SPR is small, but the issue here is, you dont beat anything other than a flushdraw or a complete bluff, and even a flushdraw has around 50% equity, since it almost always has one if not two overcards to your pair. So as played I do think, you need to just fold to this donk bet, annoying as it is. [/QUOTE]
