I think you're pretty lucky you didn't get shipped on with the particular hand he had. I think most of the hands that continue are going to shove on you here. Your equity against this range is really bad.

If you're c/r and calling off 88 here you're inviting all sorts of crazy variance! The best thing to do while you're downswinging is try lowering the variance for a while. If a play is a close decision, maybe try taking the lower variance of the two options for a bit till you get your groove back.
I agree with this and have been doing just that. That 88 hand was during my tilt infested play. I have been getting away from all tight spots and am playing much smarter post flop again. i know I was not playing well and was playing overly tricky vs bad players that were easy to read but out running me and tilting me into no aggression and becoming a retard.
