PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 66.5 BB
SB: 100 BB (VPIP: 13.43, PFR: 8.96, 3Bet Preflop: 4.55, Hands: 69)
BB: 48.5 BB
UTG: 100 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 14.29, Hands: 16)
MP: 100.5 BB (VPIP: 5.00, PFR: 5.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 20)
Hero (CO): 91 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A

UTG raises to 3 BB, fold, Hero raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls 6 BB

Flop: (19.5 BB, 2 players) 7

UTG checks, Hero bets 12 BB, UTG raises to 33.5 BB

Hero? What do you think about shoving here? He is most likely holding 3 hands of QQ, 6 hands of KK and 6 hands of AQ. So its 3 loosing hands against 12 winning hands. Question is whether reg player will be x/r here with AQ. What do you think guys, is it bad decision to GII otf?

His range is wider than that.

Standard shove.

Why aren't you buying in full?

Actually I lost against QQ, so thats why I am asking. Ive got pretty bad time - set against higher set, two pairs against higher two pairs. I am starting to be doubtful about my game.

Idk. I have auto buy-in to 100BB when I drop down to80BB but I guess I should change it, right?

Shove is not so standard play. We should not expect UTG raises AQ and rarely will have KK. He can have several FDs.
Prefer call to shove.

Why would you call here? To let him bluff his missed fds on later streets?

Yes let him bluffs in range. When we shove he folds draws and continues with sets and KK. It looks like 6comb KK but unfortunately many players 4bet them and remember that players who slowplay KKpre often only call flop.

Based on the size of his raises I'd say this guy's regish, so he's likely calling with 55-QQ and AQ+.

He's folding AK and all pairs that don't hit the flop and calling with AQ and 88-JJ. This means he's only raising with AKhh and sets, so I would just fold at these stakes seeing as AKhh is a tiny part of his range and still has a lot of equity against us.

With only one combo of bluffs I'm not sure it's a great idea to call. Even if he's raising AK/AQ/AJ/KQ of hearts you're still far behind, but that would be enough to make it a call in my opinion. Then see how he reacts to a non-heart on the turn.

Folding is crazy vs a 25/12 over 16 hands. Call is okay as is shoving.

Definitely do not fold. Call then probably x/f turn.

Set autobuy to top up your stack to your initial BI as soon as your stack falls below your initial BI.
