It should be a spot where we want to maximize the chance of eliminating button, so a call would be my prefered line.

If you think it's SB folds a lot shoving is good. But he needs to fold quite a lot cos A8o is pretty bad vs his range. I think I prefer a call.

But it's not necessarily cos we want to eliminate button, just that we're 12bb deep. There's 3.5k in the pot already but when SB calls the push we're [censored]. And if we call we either keep the CL 3-way or get to HU even or with a 2.5:1 CL which isn't bad
