UTG+2 is 31/8 over 13 hands so he tends to limp the bottom of his range. I guess I would have flat and played in position. When the shorty shoves, I dont know if I should…

1. Flat with the same plan

2. 3bet get it in

I decided to stick with my plan. On this Kxx flop, I think I can get QQ and JJ to fold with a good sized bet so I cant do a small cbet but if I bet bigger I guess I have to call a shove.

Would checking behind make any sense if I believe I can get some better hands to lay down with a strong bet? OR Should I have just 3bet gotten it in pre flop?

Im guessing this one should have been folded pre flop.

In the TT hand I would 3b get it in preflop all day long. After the shortstack shoves, just click it back and call UTG+2's shove. Never cold-flat an open 18bb deep preflop. As played, bet/call 660 on the flop. I don't think he ever has JJ+ because he flatted preflop 18bb deep so your flop bet will be for value/protection. I think UTG+2 is pretty fishy with those HUD stats and is often flatting Ax and unpaired broadway cards and will x/f flop very often.

The 77 should have been folded preflop especially with a 3.5x open and the 12bb shove pre-ante. As played, I have no ****ing clue what to do on the flop. I feel we should bet flop to protect against overcards, but a decent flop bet would be such a huge % of our remaining stack. Make a judgement call and if you think MP2 is either playing a mid-high (88-QQ) pocket pairs causiously preflop then x/f, but if you think he is flatting more Ax and broadway then bet/fold 2350. Either way, this spot is really shitty. It Comes down to how fishy you think MP2 is because your flat preflop looks VERY strong.
