Question
You're playing in a six-max game online. In this hand, it's folded around to the tight but aggressive small blind who raises to $8. You've played with him before and know he's aggressive, but you haven't got into it with him yet this session.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Call
In this spot, your best action is calling. If you had a dynamic where you had been three-betting him a ton in blind vs. blind spots, then three-betting would be best. But given that you have no such dynamic in this session, flat-call. You keep all dominated aces in his range, and you can play the pot in position.
