Default Re: Supernova tourney. Call all in push from button w/ A8h?

I'd fold this too - A-trash is a terrible hand to call a push with imo.

If this is your only reasoning, that's stupendously awful reasoning.

Ryan,

I want to call in the blinds when I have enough of an edge.
What do you expect to be up against when you call with A8?
Best you can hope for is a smaller ace - and I might call if I have a good read that villain has a wide opening range from button, but with 12% preflop raises (applying the gap-concept) I don't think you will see this small aces often enough to give you enough of an edge here.

btw you can anytime ask me for a more detailed explanation of my answers - that would be a somehow educated manner.
