UTG: 130 BB
MP: 172.6 BB
CO: 115.8 BB
Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 8♦ 8♥
fold, fold, CO raises to 2.4 BB, fold, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold, CO raises to 115.8 BB and is all-in, fold
CO wins 25 BB
THE VERY NEXT HAND:

UTG: 112 BB
MP: 105.6 BB
CO: 187.4 BB
SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has XX
fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, fold, BB raises to 100 BB and is all-in
What's the bottom of our calling range here?

I would go for 77+, ATs+, AQo+ but I have no solid argument to defend this choice, I suspect this is maybe too tight if the whale is really tilted and maybe shoves close to any two.
He is risking 100BB to win 4, so in theory you should defend super tight like QQ+AK.
His stak size and open raise don't seem fishy. In first hand I think CO should have jamming range even in theory, so i would not go too crazy just baised on that info.
Good point. I messed this up and called off JJ.
Villain had QQ.
