$16 - A8s vs limper bubble, deep

Results 1 to 4 of 4

    Default $16 - A8s vs limper bubble, deep

    What to do?
    He was 36/3 over 80 games.
    Raising is kind of too expensive against a player this loose, especially post flop (cbet).
    We are kind of deep to push.
    Check and then c/f missed flops is kind of weak with this hand.
    What is your line and why?

    Hero (BB): t3880
    CO: t3800
    BTN: t3325
    SB: t2495

    Pre Flop: Hero is BB with A 8
    1 fold, BTN calls t200, 1 fold, Hero ??
    I am just another learning player, so read my comments (very) open minded.

    Reads? From his stats it seems like he's a high blind limper; that said, I probably shove and make him make the mistake of calling light on the bubble. Raising sucks, cause you're OOP if called, like you said checking is weak. Not a fun spot.

    I would shove here. He is probably limping lots of hands here judging by his stat, and he can't call a shove with many hands since it's the bubble (obv he'll call too wide but not so wide that shoving isn't +EV). Make him pay!

    I would not shove over here since both of you are relatively deep. I'd just check, see the flop and play from there. ICM wise it's actually a bad spot if you're called and even if he shows you something that you're 60/40 favourite against (like KQo)
