10 players. Hero/BUT has $900, V1/UTG has $300, V2 MP has $600.

Hero image: Nit. (And it's kind-of accurate.)

Pre: Blinds post $1-2, V1/UTG straddles to $10. V2/MP who calls $10, MP2 calls $10, HJ calls $10. Hero/BUT has (JT)98ss. Hero raises to $40??? Blinds fold, V1 calls $30 more, V2 pots to $190 total. MP2, HJ fold.

It is $150 for Hero to call. Hero Folds????

I'd fold under the assumption that your continuing in the hand will probably induce V1 to shove for less than $150 more (approx $260 total). On the other hand V1 shove wouldn't count as a raise so V2 could only close out the action. Then you're heads up.

The raise was $150 and if V1 shoves, it's $110 on top. It's more than half the last raise, so it re-opens the action.

This was my thought too - that if V1 shoves, V2 can re-shove (especially since I'm putting him on AAxx/KKxx with that limp-re-raise move). If my call closed the action, or we were already heads-up, I would have probably seen a flop.

FYI, I didn't see the cards, but Villain said he had AAxx no suit to his buddy who he was talking PLO strategy with.

Thanks for noticing my error about closing action. I don't know what I was thinking.

I prefer overlimp pre and folding as played (if villain does not have aaxx our hand is likely to be severely dominated). Seeing a flop multiway is not a bad thing and even if hero just min-raises it can lead to lots of akward spots given stack sizes. With best position all ready hero does not need to overinvest in a good but not great rundown.

Also: a 60bb stack is straddling, hero has to expect he will get shoved on liberally. Why set himself up for lots of marginal spots. Deep-stack plo (game not that deep yet) is about recognizing and constructing favorable opportunities. Raising here is somewhere between thin and optimistic.

Are you guys playing fixed limit or something?

The rule for NL and PL has always been: it doesn't count as a raise if it's not a full raise (if it's less than $340 here).

You must be thinking of FL where it counts as a raise if it's half or more of a min raise.

Therefore I'm flatting here, expecting villain to have AAxx most of the time, and I can get my stack in whenever I flop decent equity.

It was a $150 raise from 40 to 190, if villain shoves for 300 it meets the 1x standard to reopen the betting

I'd overcall on button here with your hand mainly because its ss. If its double suited im raising and calling 3 bet.

$340 total bet to reopen the betting after the $150 raise on top of the $40. If UTG ships it allin, his raise is only $110, as he has to call the 190 (His initial 40 + 150) already out there, so he doesn't meet the 1x standard. UTG only has $260 left to go allin with.
