A8s CAP IT!

[Nick709]

Both button and UTG+1 don't have much chips
yet, does anyone not like this play? Oh and MP1 is a calling station, no read on CO.

So many ways you can lose...

Not sure how you justify capping with something as weak as A8s in early position and then going all in with another opponent w/o out a flush draw or decent kicker. Hopefully for your sake that table was on crazy tilt.

Well it's obvious the short stacks want to get all in, would you recomend folding at any time?

I don't. With all that action, you could very well be dominated. Thus, you are drawing to clubs. I don't think it is a value raise.

Once you hit an ace and the other 2 PF aggressors are short-stacked. You might as well get all the $ in and hope YHIG or you spike an 8. I would fold the flop though if they weren't short stacked.
