It's the $3 R on Stars. Post rebuys and in the money. In terms of reads the CO is pretty aggro and the BB is loose but fairly passive with 35/16 and 0 3bet but this is only over 20 hands. My image is fairly loose I've opened and reshoved a few times since moving to table, the only hand I showed down was a reshove with AKo to double a few hands before.

 

I find I'm often unsure what to do in these situations. I think we are ahead of the 7bb open shoving range here but are there too many people behind to iso shove 30bbs here with AJo? It seems pretty high risk with a fairly marginal hand with 4 players behind. Is flatting and folding to a shove from one of the big stacks best or do get exploited too often that way? Is folding way too nitty?

 

What kind of range would you be iso shoving here in general and what hands would you look to flat with? Do we ever want to flat to pot control or only ever to trap with a monster? Any input welcome.

Firstly, UTG+2 can unexploitably shove 22.5% in this postion with 7bb. That range looks like:

 

22+ A2s+ A8o+ K8s+ KTo+ Q9s+ QJo J9s+ T8s+ 98s 

 

Saying that, players at micro stakes generally don't have perfect push/fold anaylsis but it doesnt really change the answer to your question. 

 

I'm likely to flat my entire range (roughly ATs, AJo, 77+) type hands and if anyone wants to reshove and isolate then they will be running into monsters a lot more than I'll be folding. I would be folding to everyones reshove apart from MP1.

 

I'm not sure if this is the right play but i think 30bb is too many to shove and its not like BB is going to bluff shove AT and risk losing half his stack against you. I'm likely to reshove and isolate if i have around <25bb.
