This looks exactly like a set (88 or JJ most likely).

Still, I don't think you can comfortably fold top 2 (he could have KdQd, AdXd) and flatting achieves nothing since he shoves every river.

Yeah... I don't really think I'm going anywhere with the top 2. It's one of those sigh call kind of hands. I mean most players will give up 88 when u bet that flop at these stakes because its so terrible for them. By that point I don't know if I'm really a believer that he has a set. Also.... He easily has like Ad Xd. Pair and flush draw type hands... All and all I don't think it's played badly

It's probably a all you are likely against set of J, 8 or two pair A8, which gives you over 50% equity, excluding all the flush draw he might be shoving with. Considering this player doesn't have auto top-off, suggesting that he might be a fish, I'd make the call.

Preflop raise is good.

on the flop I would make it a bit more probably 35-40c going for value.

on the turn im not folding top two pair, his raise does seem strong (raising almost exactly half his stack and not just shoving), i get the feeling that he would just shove Ax of diamonds. So really you're looking at A8 exactly, 22 or 88 (doesn't villain 3bet JJ pre?).

So yeah you're over 50% equity against that range like twohaha said, I'd close my eyes and shove.
