Supernova tourney. Call all in push from button w/ A8h?
Villain is 13/12 or something over 100+ hands.
Let's assume he's decent. I have been 8 tabling so I don't really know for sure but I don't recall him doing anything stupid. His att to steal % is 25% over a small sample. Notice BB only has 6x BB. Make the big call? Edited to add: We're about 50 people from the money bubble. PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com UTG (t10695) UTG+1 (t4130) MP1 (t5267) MP2 (t5300) MP3 (t1949) CO (t5125) Button (t6429) Hero (t4895) BB (t2470) Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t6404 (All-in)</font>, Hero ? |

If we assume that BU pushes with the following range:
KK-66,A8s+,KJs+,QJs,T9s,98s,87s,A9o+,KJo+ which means 13.6% and is rather tight, you´re getting exactly the right odds to call (you´re a 40:60-dog). If Button raises more lightly, you´re even better. |

I think that range is too loose and this is a fold.

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

Ryan [/ QUOTE ] 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.

I think some of the hands in the range won't be pushed by some players but some are left out. I'd push 22-55 there for sure but I might do something different with 87s. Ultimately, though, we're just guessing and the range can't be that far off. I doubt most people are pushing KK there, too.
