STT $1.5 - 3bb call A8o

hi,
I call this ingame unless tight reads/stats on UTG

Like Robert said, i would make the call unless UTG is really tight. Look at it this way. BB only has 8 bb's, he's going to start getting desperate and could shove in the range of Ax, Kx, maybe even QJ type hands or any pairs.

I wouldn't worry about the SB's call too much, he only has about 6 bb's and probably is calling a fairly wide range here. Besides, since you only have 3 bb's, you MUST CALL with a hand that has a fairly good chance of winning. Any Ax, mid Kx or any pair and you would have to call. You are way too short at this point to wait for a better hand and since you are only 2 blinds away from the BB, you don't really have a choice.

Hope that helps.

Next time, you should shove with almost any 2 cards when you are closing in on 5 bb's on the button or cutoff since if you get under 5 bb's (3 bb's in your case), you won't be able to have enough chips to force your opponents to fold.

Hope this advice helps, ♦

Hello all,

Fold against tight player and call against loose one. Its close and much depends on villain to call or fold.
