Just to play devil's advocate, would you open T8o in SB vs the same villain?

By the above logic, with T8o, villain will be playing all Axx hands incorrectly, and all 8xx,Txx flops incorrectly - since you're running the assumption that he will assume we have Ax?

My standard is to steal with this particular hand. I would fold if villain was 3betting me a ton, or just generally being very difficult post.

Stealing this probably depends a lot on our reads of villain, and our dynamic overall.
