1-1-2 live 8 question

[pete fabrizio]

game is 1-1-2 nl where UTG can post a live 8. you are in the cutoff with $100, everyone has you covered. utg posts the 8, one ep and one mp limp to you. with what range of hands should you move in?

It's a live straddle for $8. People post it b/c they like action.

If I get it right, the live 8 is a blind $8 raise which utg would post to get more action in the game. Everyone in the game should then post it when they are utg though, otherwise it wouldn't be fair.

OP: Did utg post it blind, or has he seen his cards already?

yes, he posted it blind, and it is live. no, not everyone does it, but some still do.

99+, AQs i guess

With a $28 pot with nobody showing strength and effective stacks of $100, the range to move in is pretty wide. Without reads, I go with SpecT's range, and add AQo (and of course AK).

How does our own table image change the range?

this range seems really really tight to me.
