Default Re: Review: Hand 1, Q8o

He has a reasonable hand, Q8, and is getting 9 to one on a call which closes the action.

In what way is this hand reasonable? Serious question. What do you think hero will make at showdown?

Overdefending the blinds is a common error. This hand should go in the muck. If the raiser was first in on the button, different story. But here the raiser is in the middle, and we could easily be dominated by a better Q or 8, or beat by a pair. Fold here.
