What makes this profitable vs. full stacks is that when you stack them for 100BB's that covers a lot of ground. I think the 10x rule is pretty insane though. If you are regularly calling 10BB PFR's against fellow full stacks you are paying a pretty penny. At this level that would be a $5 PFR. So $5 x 8 = $40. So you'd have to make 80BB's each time you hit just to break even.
Am I just ignorant or does 88 have more than set value!?

It's like one of the top ten hands rite (AA KK QQ JJ AKs TT AKo 99 88 AQs)? Why do we fold to a standard PFR? Re-raising is a better choice than folding, although I call also
what other value does it have? surely you're not playing for a weak overpair.
I can't see what's wrong with playing for a weak overpair as well, in fact a T-high flop is fine.. In a a raised pot, idiots often go a bit insane with missed broadways, esp. AK. Although I wouldn't advocate this play unless you know for a fact that your opponents are the stupid tricky type to call with big pairs preflop.
