($60) A8o in BB, SB open raises, standard?

[taipan168]

Opp's stats 50/15 over an irrelevant sample size (20 hands). This is standard, right?

For me it is close and think in play I would fold.

I prefer to have AT+, 55+ here to push.

Actually I don't like it. You're stack is a bit too big, and I'd need a solid read he raises pretty wide here(and is capable of folding sth like 55, A9).

No way.

20 hands is a very small sample but its not irrelevant. You'll rarely see a tag having those stats after 20 hands.

its a valid point. Of course, we do have to keep in mind the sample size, but the fact is the hands that you currently have on him and any notes combine to make up your reads of the player, and regardless of how small a sample it is, a read is better than no read. We can at least assume hes likely not a great/thinking player and that hes opening a wide range from the SB. Shoving looks fine to me as long as you don't think hes going to call shoves ridiculously loose (I can't see how you would without a more detailed read).

You can shove this even readless.
