$1.3k effective. Folds to button and he opens for $25. I'm in the BB with A8 suited so make it $65. Button defends.

Flop is 844 rainbow and I cbet $60. He re-pops to $140, I 3bet to $400 and he folds.

At a $1/$3 table, the differences would often be......
- button folds pre-flop
- my hand is flatted rather than 3bet
- button does not re-raise. He just folds, or flats if he has a small pocket pair.
- A8 would often not 3bet the flop but would flat, check turn and be in a horrible spot if button continued.

It's by no means definitive but does seem to be a good example of what I see as the differences between the two games.

This would strike me as a very odd way to play A8s preflop in a 2/5 game as well.

And maybe so. The play is very much governed by relative position and implied holdings than it is specific hand strength but you may well be right.

How would you play the A8 hand, all-mighty poker wizard?

Dont want to derail so i wont argue(i play up to 50-100 and play 25-50 regularly)op should consider 3 betting a bigger size pre and not 3 betting the flop is the way to go.
