NL20 8s8h

Posted 8 years ago

Anon very passive table.

SB started with 60bb stack, very tight adn lost a few in a row lately and I just think getting a little tilty. So if I raise my lovely 88 I think I'm calling it off because I fancy SB shoves soon.

Simple question, what range can I raise/call here v SB? I think 8s are fine, but I usually just go meh let's go, with whatever I have here. Laugh

Thanks.

I'd probably go with AJ+ 88+. some will suggest wider I think but it gets pretty thin after this range imo.

88 is borderline but honestly if villain is shoving that often then it becomes a call so just go ahead and open.

Against this stack size with a guy that maybe tilty and getting it in a lot, then 88 is fine. 88 might actually be my lowest pair though vs a quarter stack.

Ajo+ and ATs+ I think are fine too.

Yep I had similar thoughts on it at the time, just making notes that I wasn't spewing off too light.

Thanks guys.
