Ohh, nice. Confused he'd 3b 88s, is that common? I don't think I've seen that often. Usually if a regular 3b in the blinds with a pair, it's the smaller ones, like 22 - 55, and they call with higher, and sometimes do C/R on boards that are good for it, maybe high low boards etc.
Well played regardless, really like the line you took.
