trying to get the hang of sng bubbles. villain had been reasonable - knew where the raise button was, but not a maniac.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Button (t1465)
SB (t1970)
Hero (t1745)
UTG (t2820)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t1970 (All-In)</font>, Hero??

Hmm, I dislike situations like these. If you had AT+, 77+ I'd say this is an instant call but a8 is such a marginal hand. I would estimate you are ahead, but I just don't know what percentage of the time you have villain crushed.

If the blinds were at 200/400 I'd say this was definitely call but at 150/300 I'd probably close my eyes and call versus an opponent I knew was willing to push any two.

Meh, I think you're barely a favorite here. You're not low enough to take these yet IMO.

Against all but the craziest maniacs, this is an insta-fold for me here. You've still got plenty of FE, no need to call off all your chips with A8o.
