PokerStars in NJ. 1st MAJOR in 1st week of Pstars. Daniel N & Jason Somerville are playing. Somerville at my table with a few other GOOD regs.

Been doing well all day. Getting late. No reads on the players other then they appear to be playing well. No fishiness going on.

Blinds are 350/700 I have 19k. I’m 70/142 Left. 35 getting paid.

———————————-

Vill #1 26k – Unk opens to 1538

Vill #2 30k – unk flats 1538

Hero (Btn) – AhQs ? What’s the right thing to do?

FLOP T32sss *POT (5600 or so)

Vill #1 – cbets to 2655

What’s move here?

Again, no real reads on Villian……… Wondering what you guys think PRE & Flop? Will give my thoughts after a few of you guys provide some. Curious.

Well, weird stack to 3bet sqz and fold, you need to plan for a 4bet shove pre, unless is too much action if i 3bet sqz that i will stack off.

If you have shorts or sqz happy on the blinds you can call, and call again.

Since you call, and have a FD otf, i would call flop IP, reraise will look like bluff on monoton board, call might seem strong, V can give up ott.

Knowing the positions of the Villains pre-flop would be helpful. And I assume V2 folds to the flop bet?

Assuming V1 is in ~MP….

How do you weight call vs 3-bet? Heads-up I’ve been flatting more in this situation, but multi-way isn’t it better to 3-bet to isolate players and hand ranges and take the betting lead on the flop?

Can we 3-bet to around ~3650 and still fold to a 4-bet? (I’m still new to 4-bet strategy so this is a big “?” here) Do we have to call a 4-bet since we are 3-betting from the button and could be lighter? Is this leveling to the point it is purely read dependent?

Thanks guys.

They were C/O and H/J

I’m on BTN

3 hands before………. same thing happen. But I had less chips. Had 21bbs. AJ I ship on them and they both FOLD.

but hand, I was on the btn……… I was thinking about 3betting, then worried about the stack. If I 3bet, I would have made it 4800-5200. Thought about it, used a bunch of my time bank…… decided to call confused In position, see a flop and go from there. SB & BB were short so I figured they would have to jam IF they played. They folded.

We see an all spades flops. Vill 1, bets kinda small I felt. Vill 2 FOLDs…. I call, have overs and the Qs flush draw, I felt that I could have him beat now and got outs.
