109 Speed 4 handed A8o

CheckCheckFold · #1 05-20-2006, 06:27 AM

Hero is first to act with A8o with 3600 in chips.
Blinds 200/400.
The button is small with 800.
SB has 5200 after posting the SB.
BB has 9200 after posting the BB.

What should hero do?

Come on, this is an easy push. There isn't any range you can put the other payers on that makes this a fold

I'd check my calculations if I were you.

Edit: I guess I could add something constructive as well. With the blinds calling 5% and shortie 10%(this is probably not the case, but I'm lazy and it makes my point), pushing is -0.02%. I don't like the other alternatives either since it screams "I don't wanna get all in", which often leads to being put all in.

This is an insta fold for me. Not even close. Look at the button's stack.

If this is not obvious, you should not be playing the 109's.

Ups, sorry. I actually read it as 3-handed, didn't notice there's a small stack [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Actually, I would have folded this one unless the other players have been really tight.

Really easy fold for me...
