This happens literally all the time when I have a set and not even the best set but sometimes the best. But this one I've go to share because I wanna know if I messed it up or not.

Hero 800$ stack
V1 700$ (younger reg late 20s- early 40 unsure asian thinking very aggressive player)
V2 400$
Hero pocket 88's black OTB
V1 UTG+1 opens 15$
V2 CO calls 15$
Hero OTB 3! 40$
V1 calls, V2 folds
(pot 99$)8H 7C 9C
V opens 25$
Hero 3! 55$
V 4! 125$
Hero?

I think we can just go with it and shove. We're 50/50 against top two, sets, made straights and AQcc / A8cc.
Alternative would be to call to keep all his bluffs in and jam over him on brick turns.

I swear I’m gonna make a COTM post teaching this sub how to calculate a damn raise size.
This preflop 3b size is 1/2p, which I guess isn’t completely unreasonable but it is the equivalent of opening for 2.25bbs.
Flop raise is 1/5p. That seems a tad small, no?
A shove over this reraise would be 2x pot. Is this really a spot to overbet?
Learn how to 3 bet the right size. Seen this several times from you. This is very easy to learn and fix.
On the flop villain didn't "open, " they bet. You didn't 3bet flop, you raised. Villain didn't 4 bet, he 3 bet.
Preflop first raise is a raise and 2nd raise is a 3bet.
Postflop first bet is a bet and first raise is a raise, second raise is a 3bet.
1. 3bet sizing needs to be at least 45+15 = 60 (3x IP, + 1 caller).
2. on the flop, raise size also need to be also big, at least $75
3. I've never ever seen flop 4b in $1/3, lol rest assured. I think sets could've called or raised even bigger on such a wet board. Not sure if set's flop 4 betting where you can have JTs as well, potentially 56s being deep stacked.
Shitty spot for sure, but this is kind of a butchered hand with sizing, fold and move on to a better spot. If you've seen V bluffing then call to assess on different turn runouts. If the board pairs or flush comes in, straights will likely check

I'm new to the forum give me a break with the terms Mlark. Also I understand my sizing is usually off when I reraise. I've been told this a few times I'll admit.
I think my initial thought is if I go $75ish he's gonna jam back to 200$ he consistently fires another round and now I'm really in a bind either jam or fold at that point. The Asian guy is thinking maniac after all. I mean i can't flat call either here can I??
The problem with using the wrong terms is that it confuses the reader.
FWIW, when I create a post I usually proofread it multiple times before the editing window expires, so that I'm not responding to questions about something I left out or misstated.
I know this wasn't directed at me, but I just wanted to say I didn't realize 3 of my recent snarky comments all just happened to be in reply to you, and also that you're new to the forum. My bad, nothing personnel kid.
FWIW, my reply in this thread honest to god isn't directed at you, people constantly demonstrate a lack of understanding of how to calculate a raise size here.
Anyways I ended up jamming back i don't think I can just call here bc hes just gonna jam turn and I figure I'm 50/50 here on him catching he ended up having A6 clubs and did hit a river club.
