Default A8s hits ace on monotone flop...

not sure at all if i played this correctly.

CO is 26/3/1.18. BB is 20/12/3.00.

Dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in SB. All folds to CO, who limps. I complete. BB checks.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet. BB raises. CO folds. I call.

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check. BB bets. I call.

River: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check. BB bets. I call.

Raise preflop as you probably have the best hand and you want the BB out. Otherwise you played it well.

With BB being reasonably tight I raise this preflop.

I'm ok with calling this down after the flop raise since it's heads up.

I don't like this because we will never get villian to fold a better hand, there are vew few aces that we beat, and we don't allow him to bluff the river with a busted draw.

I think u should raise pf. A8s is a pretty good hand nd we don't want BB in for free. If u think CO limps his strong hands completing is ok. Rest I think is fine.

What is BBs raising range on the flop apart from hands that beat us?

as others have said, raise preflop. BB has the potential to make life very tough for you postflop so you want him out. A8s has an edge against his random hand.

so yeah, RAISE and lets gets this HU with CO who we should be able to outplay postflop. We can outplay him because his stats indicate he is looser and passive and wont put us to as many tough decisions postflop. and yes, outplaying can include folding and not just being an aggro mofo to make him fold [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm thinking BB is pretty aggressive so hands we beat are:

44-77 (maybe 88 but we hold one 8 so...). Maybe 99 but considering his stats I'm surprised if he doesn't raise that PF.

Lower A : A4-A7
Draw: One club Kc-Tc
