the vilain has 3,5 bb and im on the BB i have to put 2,5bb to win 8. 2,5/8=0,31, i need 31% equity, thats wath my A8 has vs any pair from 88 to KK,vs lower pair have 50% and with beater As i have an 30%,so yes i guess that is a fine call.

Almost any hand has 31% equity against the range, someone this short is jamming with. So not only is A8 a call, so is probably also 32 offsuit, especially if its the final table, and you will level up by eliminating him.

Nothing to analyze, speedlimit didin't have any fold equity so, call with any ace, any king or even any queen and every pairs is correct on the big blind.

Very easy call. Almost ATC is a call. You just shouldn’t get frustrated if you are dominated or get sucked out on. That’s poker.

Snap call with any Ace - shove is for 3.5bb and you are already in for 1 - with the ante and SB in the pot you need to call 2bb for a shot at the pot. Easy call.

That being said I would like to also state this is only true because we close the action! We cannot make this call from the SB. It opens the door for another player to enter the pot and we dont need to risk getting squeezed in a spot like that. So easy call here from the BB. Fold from all other spots.
