Very soft lineup during this hand. Guy to my direct left is on tilt and getting it all in bad every chance he gets. Other villain in this hand has the capacity to spew big time when he's on tilt but he hasn't showed any signs of that yet. 5 players limp including V1 on the button. I'm sb with AA34cc. I call. Bb checks.

We start the hand with about $600. V1 on the button has us covered. V2 in the BB just rebought for $200.

Flop ~35
Tc3s4c

I bet pot 35. V2 on tilt calls 35. Folds around to button who raises to $135. Unfortunately this is the type of game where people are limping every combo of TT and don't have significant combos of anything else to be raising with. Seems like this is just a fold but at the time the hand felt a little too strong to let go of, especially with V1 ready to stick it in with who knows what.

Against a set of 10s we only have 36% equity so it seems like we are just putting in too much money bad here. Thoughts?

If you have 36% equity you can make a slightly profitable call vs. a pot sized raise (getting 2:1, 1/3, 33% equity = breakeven). If you think your tilted villain is also likely to call if you call the raise it makes it way more profitable to come along because your implied pot odds will be better than 3:1 which you only need some less than 25% to make a break even call when you potentially have 30%+.

Hope this makes sense.

Hero should have slightly more than 36% equity heads-up against a set and is a favorite against a hand like T654. Solid favorite over a wrap and a flush draw. Huge favorite over a hand like kings and the second-nut flush draw.

Hero could outperform actual equity if he has fold equity if he calls the flop and jams a straightening turn card.

Wouldn't that only be true if I had 36% equity going to the turn? I'm 36% with two cards to come. Probably something like 20% with one card, so 2-1 isn't good enough to call. Pretty sure tilted V is calling, but he likely has my a few of my outs as well.

I would have potted pre.

As played, we have 11 outs to the nuts (or effective nuts if an Ace hits). If V has TT, we turn the nuts over 25% of the time. If V2 calls we're getting direct odds to draw to the turn, if V2 folds we're almost getting direct odds and certainly have implied odds (our Ace outs are particularly good). We definitely have odds against some made hands that aren't TT, and are crushing any draws. I call, hope V2 calls, and evaluate turn.

I agree i should have potted pre. I'm not convinced there are enough draws in V1s range to make this a call/shove. If we call, what are we evaluating outside of folding if bet into unimproved? Are we just potting any 2,5,6, or 7? Honestly, I don't think this V will fold very often to that with a chance to boat up, even if he's not getting odds to do so. I think we can check on straightening cards and expect a check back pretty frequently, especially with V2 calling.

All this makes it a pretty standard call. If V2 calls you are basically getting your direct odds, and you should be able to squeeze at least one bet out of your flushes if he has a set, and may be able to stack V1 if you turn an ace. With 11 outs you're going to have either the nut flush or top set 25% of the time on the turn.

I have seen V be aggressive with draws while on tilt by leading with initiative and shoving/raising big on draws. However, I've never seen action like this from V which made me think that he was strong at the time and weighted heavily towards TT. I also think combinatorically he is weighted heavily towards TT.

Based on your reads, I would probably call around 2/3 of the time and ship it around 1/3 of the time.

Even if V has TT, isn't this a call especially with V2 in the hand and likely to call? Again we have 11 outs to the nuts here. Having the 4 and 3 in our hand makes it less likely that V will boat up. We are definitely going to get paid if an A hits. May be harder to get paid on hearts unless V2 also has a FD (which then hurts our odds) but I bet if a heart hits we can still get basically a PSB out of V if he has TT. He'll be drawing to the effective nuts (not realizing two of his outs are in our hand) and people don't like to flop the nuts and then fold turn even if they should.

After doing math on this I'm confident the right play is to call here. We need 4 to 1.V2 is almost always calling which would give us 3.4 to 1. Since V2 is calling on pretty much any turn for 60 more we are essentially getting our 4 to 1. Then there's the chance (pretty likely) that V1 calls a pot sized bet when we hit our flush, and he definitely calls when we hit an Ace.

Actual results: Hero pots, V2 calls with flush draw and V1 Shoves with TT. Hero calls.
