Default Re: A8 Microlimit (6 max), standard play?

Hey henrikrh-

I probably would have folded A8o preflop. If it had been folded to you I would try the raise for a blind steal attempt but otherwise I think A8o is too weak here unless you have reads that tell you otherwise.

As played I would have just called the flop bet. I don't think you can protect your weak middle pair against villian here and either way any advantage we have will change drastically with the turn (up or down).

That being said, I like the raise when you hit trip 8's on the turn.

This is 6 max and I'm on teh button , I think a8 is a clear raise here everytime, and I'm not fodling to his 3 bet, which i but on a range of 66-AA and JQs-AK. Preflop the guy is very average, but he would use a continuation bet, hence my flop raise, the reraise tells me I'm probably not ahead, or he thinks I'm very weak. On the turn I think I''m ahead almost 95% of the time and the action reflects that.

With this in mind, still fold?
