Hand shape: its small gap still leaves straight draws and the weak offsuit kicker is often dominated when called.
T8o is an edge hand in 6 published spots, where the Nash solution mixes it: 6-max SB 20bb (27%), 9-max SB 20bb (27%), 6-max BTN 8bb (15%), 9-max BTN 8bb (15%), 6-max BTN 5bb (94%), and 9-max BTN 5bb (94%). In a true Nash mix both options earn about the same against the equilibrium callers, so a consistent default costs little.
