I don't do "chops"

[Burno]

Fairly standard move in the arsenal of just about every solid player. Good spot for it?



Relevant stacks

Hero 1600
Villain 1000 seems pretty donkish

$27 2 table 25/50 Stars.


Villain limps UTG+1. Hero completes SB with A8o. BB checks.

Sexy or Spewy?

Why risk your whole stack for half the pot?

[Ampelmann]

What worse hands are calling your push? What better hands fold (esp. if he's a donkey)? Will he really fold a chopping hand?

[Burno]

Cream,

Because maybe I can win all of it.



Ampel,


I don't expect a better hand to fold or a worse hand to call. I was unsure if he'd fold a chopping hand but I thought I'd see for myself.

I felt his betting pattern made it very likely he has a weak ace, maybe just a Q. And its quite the coup if I can get him to fold an ace.

[futuredoc85]

eh sometimes he will show up w/ 33 but otherwise you're never behind, so i guess it cant really hurt to try

[Nogatsira]

I dont think donks will fold A-rag here. And with some bad luck he's playing A5 :x

[runner4life7]

any reason we are dismissing AK and AQ, not saying it will be that often, but people certainly limp these hands especially in EP and if he is a donk this could very well be his idea of getting value with those bets.

[j00hndayton]

Why risk anything, just wait to shuv a8s in the CO.

[malnek]

lol villain seems real bad....

i would never really do this in game while multitabling but looking at it, it doesnt seem bad at all.

[deepextragully]

I think this is probably a fold pre, though I probably call lol. And as played I think this is just a standard call down.
