A8o iso-raise

[admiralfluff]

(Forgive me, but I am about to post lots of hands. Many of them might be boring and standard, but you know how it goes when your confidence is shot.)

Fairly unknown LP olimps MP. He's 30/3 over like 50 hands, hasn't shown much postflop agg.

OTB is a tightish TAG, SB is unknown, BB is a loose donk, 40/15 type.

I have A8o CO and raise it up.

I do this tons. you're ahead of each of the mp and bb's ranges pf, you have position, and they will have a hard time extracting value from you when they hit, vs you extracting from them when you do.

[Gib]

yep I'd play it the same

Without going into discussion about the actual hand, how exactly do you intend to extract value and from what ? Ace high flops ? People usually don't give action on those unless you're beat. 8 high flops ? They don't happen often. I don't get the value extracting statements at all, you'll have people correctly folding on ace high flops a ton and will be folding the best hand to action on J95 boards a ton.
