What's the biggest mistake in AoF strategy?

Folding suited connectors and suited gappers in multiway pots. Once you factor in the AoF jackpot, most of these hands are +EV shoves and calls — but they look like folds on a standard push/fold chart.

How wide should I open from CO at 8BB?

Wide. Most pocket pairs, most suited aces, most broadways and every suited connector 76s+ are +EV shoves from CO. JTO's solver returns the exact frequency at your jackpot value.

Is AoF strategy the same on every site?

Ruleset varies — GGPoker uses a straight-flush jackpot, other sites vary jackpot payouts and rake. JTO lets you set your exact structure so the solve matches the site you play.

AoF Strategy Guide

All-in or Fold Poker Strategy

The complete GTO guide to 8BB All-in or Fold. Learn how CO opens, why BTN over-shoves, what SB actually calls and how the AoF jackpot changes every one of your ranges.

The AoF strategic model

AoF is not a tournament and it's not a cash game — it's a 4-max 8BB push/fold format with a jackpot bonus. The correct strategic frame is a symmetric push/fold game modified by a jackpot bounty on straight-flush combinations. Every optimal decision falls out of that model.

Positional openers at 8BB

CO shoves wide — every broadway, every pair, every suited ace, every suited connector 76s+ and most K-highs.
BTN shoves even wider when CO folds because SB and BB defend imperfectly.
SB shoves a linear range and calls a polarised range vs CO / BTN opens.
BB defends a huge multiway range because it's already invested 1BB with 7BB to win.

Multiway overcalls are the biggest edge

Most players fold too tight in multiway spots because the pot looks scary. In reality, the equity you need is small (usually 25–33% depending on stacks) and the jackpot bonus pushes the required equity even lower. Solving multiway overcalls correctly is the biggest edge in AoF.

Jackpot adjustment

Every time the jackpot value moves, so does the correct range. JTO tracks live jackpot values and recomputes ranges automatically. As the jackpot climbs, more suited hands cross the profitability threshold.
