1-3 Spread Limit (3-$200) Effective stacks about $400

Hero is utg raises to $10, 2 callers from MP then villain calls from button, blinds fold.

Villain on button is very solid regular, a winner in this game, kinda an OMC type, though could pull moves in the right spot. Hero has raised last several hands and so image might be kinda laggy...

Flop: 4 handed, $40, 567

Hero bets $25, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, Button raises to $75, Hero calls, MP1 folds

Turn: HU, $215, 7, Hero checks, Button Bets $125, Hero????

Folds.

He's telling you that he's going to take you to value town. AA usually isn't good if stacks go in on the river if the villain is a solid regular.

Just fold the flop, you are in really bad shape against his range, he has a stack of hands that already have you crushed (55, 66, 77, 76s, 65s, 54s) and all his other hands have very solid equity against you. Your hand is also basically face up as an overpair when you raise UTG and bet flop and yet he's making a smallish raise 3 ways.

We had a discussion about overpairs on these kind of boards MW a few days ago, and a lot of people preferred just check/folding these type of flops, esp OOP.

But FFS, raise bigger pre?

I don't like going 4+ ways to the flop with overpairs in small SPR pots where most of our moves postflop our handcuffed unless our Villains are kind enough to let us off the hook, so I do something different preflop.

I'm fine with the bet sizing on the flop. It's a pretty horrible board, but there is still a chance I'm ahead, I'm betting to protect my lead if so, and I can easily fold if one of a zillion horrible cards come. I fold to the reraise, I doubt he's getting too out-of-line vs a raiser and a caller, and is mostly either crushing us or at the very least has very decent equity.

I don't get to the turn, but his bet sizing looks pretty boaty to me. I fold again.

I did end up folding and of course wishing I would have just folded the flop... My mindset on the flop is that since my image was very active he maybe didn't realize how strong I was and would slow down on the turn after I called...

After the hand he made some comment about how he had a big pair and we "were gonna have to pay to draw" which kinda tilted me, but he could have been full of ****...ultimately I guess against his whole range I was crushed...if he really did have KK-JJ good for him...(I've seen him flat KK pf before)

If he doesn't show you his hand, he's most likely FOS and just trying to tilt you into calling next time (since it is so obvious what you have).

This. I pretty much check my entire range on flops like these when I'm OOP multi-way. The fact that it's a single raised pot 4 ways usually means this board texture crushes the callers ranges compared to yours. I would have c/c flop and looked to play some turns, but as played I'd fold flop. I guess sometimes the button is over playing 99-jj, but overall you're usually crushed here and very rarely are you getting a runout that you love.
