[Closed] 2$ SnG FR; A8o

Don't quite understand the question. Are you asking about this posted spot or do you mean some hypothetical situation?

If you ask about posted hand, then SB is not "pushing" (going all-in) but raising. The question therefore therefore should be about coldcalling him. I would suggest stronger Aces AK, AQ mb even AJ when he is so loose or medium pocket pairs like 66-99 with anything stronger you can re-raise him.

sorry, in this case I wrote push, instead of rising...anyway thanks for reply.

Villain seem to be very loose (42/37) so I would 3bet/shove quite wide here. All pockets and AJ+ are good enough to reraise imo as we have tons of fold equity here and already 420 in pot.

Cold calling in position with A8o would be my play. We are still quite deep (~20bb) so I don't like to go too wild here as it's quite easy for villain to play if we do. Folding weak hands and play for stacks with stronger ones. Also some hands with two high cards are good for cold calling and playing postflop from position.

I would not suggest cold call with medium pockets as postflop playing with those tend to be tricky even from position.

Hi all,

Probably have something like Axs+, A9o+, 22+, K8s+... as a resteal range. I wouldn't call any hands vs 2.5bb. I prefer shoving A8o to calling with it. If he minraised then I think having a calling range is OK.
