After the other big stack folds, I thought I had a great hand to put him all-in. I was surprised when he calls. I was more surprise with his whole cards, as I wasn't expecting him to take that risk at this stage...Is this play correct?

PokerStars - $1.32+$0.18|50/100 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 485.00

MP: 2,140.00
CO: 3,255.00
Hero (BTN): 3,450.00 26/23/0 (Must be the first time in a while I have an AF=0! :f_o: )

SB posts SB 50.00, BB posts BB 100.00

Pre Flop: (pot: 150.00) Hero has 8♣ 8♠

fold, UTG+1 raises to 400.00, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2,900.00, fold, fold, UTG+1 calls 1,525.00 and is all-in

Flop: (4000.00, 2 players) T♥ 6♥ J♥

Turn: (4000.00, 2 players) 5♥

River: (4000.00, 2 players) 3♦

Spoiler

UTG+1 shows A♦ 7♦ (High Card, Ace) (Pre 33%, Flop 17%, Turn 15%)

Imo, 88 is border line, and i would still be giving a bit credit here as opening from utg. There is just push or fold, so i think push is a bit better.

I think its a fold. He is raising from UTG and his bet is too big giving him very small FE for this to be a steal reraise, imo

88 would be the bottom of my 3bet range here as long as UTG1 PFR by position is is > = 20%. Also you have to consider if 4x is his standard raise size.

This. If he normally raises less and then raises 400 here then we should fold our hand. If 4x is his standard sizing then our play can be fine.
