Hate those one way "set" hands with not many redraws, what will you do if the flop comes all spades with two more low cards? You'll be gambling for stacks with at best a draw to half? If there's easier money elsewhere can fold and watch the carnage?

If you're not prepared to get it in against the chip leader here then pass to the initial raise.
Worst case scenario is you're up against nut low nut flush draw and overpair and you'd still have well over 40% equity against that if you were heads up getting scooped about 25% of the time
They should be holding a good few of each others outs so I'd happily get it in.

I'd just as happily pass to the initial raise though.
It's a great game and really makes you think.

This. Like the shove, like the fold, really not sure what I'd do in the game. In a vacuum I think I'd fold.

ok guys lets say the 8's are 9's does this make the shove easier?

With the JT in your hand as well it's much easier.

9's makes it a fist pump get it in there.
You gain far more equity because of a low being less likely so are now 55%+ 3 way against AA234ds and KK234

Have a play about with pro poker tools - just use the 5 card o8 sim

fidget, do you know of a 6O odds calculator? Looked for one occasionally for years but not found one so far.

PS Welcome to blonde.

Agree with fold to initial raise and obviously if it was 9s then it is get in.
