A8s, A9s, +EV or not?
I'm stuck at work without my fancy poker software.
Situation: 6 person table, no reads at all on anyone at athe table. You're in the CO with A8s or A9s. UTG+1 raises.
Question: Is there value in a 3 bet or is it just spew? Does this answer change if you're playing $.5-$1 or $5-$10?
I'm saying that this is aclear fold until you get some sort of read but I'm getting some pretty heavy oposition. My arguement is that at the very best you're a small favorite and are relying solely on your positional advantage to make up for the times you're crushed by a bigger ace or pocket pair. on top of that, you have no garentee that you're getting this heads up, and nay third player will definately have you crushed and sinc eyou're in the CO you arent garenteed to have position on the flop.
This seems like pure spew to me unless you're by far better than the average player at a table you sit down at. Am I wrong here? It has been known to happen
