This is a hand I played live today. $125 re-entry, 8k chips, 20 min levels. Plays like a turbo late stages. Actually, the person UTG is not me. I am the “donk” in the SB who just lost a big pot AK vs A9, A9 hitting the nut flush.
CO: Usually a loose raiser, but has been playing fairly tight the last 2-3 times I have played with him. He is extremely short stacked, but still waiting for a good hand to shove.
SB: That’s me. I have been playing way too many hands today as I made up my mind to experiment with calling/raising more hands than usual, and also the deck had been hitting me only pre-flop. Everyone in the table knows this and were friendly-bantering me
UTG: Not too solid.. Raised UTG earlier with A2o and has shown down some random off-suit hands, but has chipped up from CO in an AA-KK battle.
Blinds: 200-400-50; Average is 11k
UTG(15k) raises to 1050 with 3
3
into 1100
CO (2k) all in 99
now, pot is 3100
SB (3k) all in Q
K now, pot is 6200
UTG open-folds here. He said that he would call CO, but my reshove made him fold. Do you think this is a right fold? The way I have been playing, my range is very wide. If he is calling CO only, he gets to call 1k to win 4k. If he is calling both of us, he needs to call 2k to win 8k, so there is no change in his equity in the pot. Considering that both CO and SB are short stacks, what would you do UTG? If you are making a crying fold here, what is your calling range?
P.S. CO spiked a 9 on the flop, there was also a 3, but there was another 3 on the river that got UTG fuming a little.

It’s a terrible fold by the 33, and your shove is pretty bad too, but I think you know that already. That said, either your stack or bet sizes are wrong. Pot should be 4150 after CO shoves, and 6950 after you shove.
“there is no change in his equity in the pot”
If those numbers were right, there would be no change in his pot odds. However, his equity does go down (though not by very much, given the exact hands involved here) as a result of a third player who will also see showdown.

Yeah. I might have gotten the pot totals wrong, but I am right about how many chips we had behind. As for my shove with KQ, I know it is bad, but didn’t think it was so bad. UTG is raising light and he would do this easily with something like A7. MP might do this with any pocker pair and hands that dominate me are AQ+. I might still be able to win the pot from UTG and would have lost about 2.5BB in the hand.
Do you think shoving here with 98s or T9s is better than KQs?

Your shove certainly gets better if UTG has a folding range, but he really shouldn’t. Put them both on ranges and see how much equity you have. CO should not be jamming any pocket pair. I realize some people will, but you made sound like if anything he was overly tight.
