I always thought of it as a truism that our goal is to maximize the number of hands we can play profitably. If I'm making a profit with A8o by open-limping it, and you're just chucking it, how is that not giving me a better winrate than you?

Widening my button range might be a good idea but it doesn't have much to do with this thread.
I would open A8o fwiw probably the bottom of the axo that I'd open but that's irrelevant. My point is if you can make a profit by limping A8o vs a certain opponent I'm sure you can at least equal that if not increase it by opening it. You would have to have a pretty specific read on an opponent where limping would be better. Generally I would just open or fold vs competent ppl.

Another hijack point is I'm positive everybody should widen their button opening range myself included.
