Should Hero jam 65 with A8?
I checked, GTO wizard says Jam
I dont understand why we Jam, how are there enough combos for Villain to call and we get value?

I would guess the solver villain mainly bets hands better than A8 themselves (99+) and checks a range of giveups (JT KJ etc, unpaired missed clubs), showdown value (A high, rivered 6x of clubs), and a very small amount of traps. So hero can shove A8 to target (get value from) A high and 6x clubs, generating a little more EV than checking back. The A8 value bet also helps balance hero’s bluffs like low clubs, which want to fold out better hands
Thanks, that helps alot. Villain did have KJ.
I think I was mistakenly thinking they'd only call 99+ but you're right, they could have some missed clubs that 3bet. Kc6c. Also hero needs to balance range when bluffing T9 of clubs or JT clubs.
Thanks
