1-2 $300 max buy-in Edgwater Casino

Hero: mid 20's white male wearing a grey hoodie. Been at the table less than an hour, most of the players look like regs, not to imply they are all good. Been relatively card dead and have only played 3-5 hands in the hour. Image is questionable as within the first minutes of sitting down had straddled to 5, Villain 1 to my immediate left made it 20 UTG, 2 callers, hero looks at 43 and calls. Flop is 562, hero checks, Villain c-bets 50, folds to hero who pops it 110, villain goes AI (started with 200) and hero calls. Villain shows A7 and hero's hand holds up. Been playing relatively straightforward since then. Stack little under $500

Villain 1: late 20's asian male wearing black hoodie. Seems very aggro selective, TAG image though I suspect he's playing a wide range; only player at the table that has 3bet in the last hour and it was twice so I'm sure it wasn't only QQ+. Was villain from hand history, not quite sure what to think of his play. Hasn't limped more than twice, opening pots and cbetting to take them down with mixed success. stack ~$250.

Villain 2: late 20's indian male wearing a baseball cap, headphones, and coat. Transferred to this table about 30 min ago, haven't seen anything out of the norm from him. Has limped a few times, called some pfr and fold flops. Has opened once in that time. One thing I noted is his large bets, most pfr were 7-12 but he made it 15 and his cbet was like 75% pot. stack ~$250

On to the hand!

Hero hasn't been straddling the entire time, but decides to now. UTG+1 Villain 1 makes it 10, UTG+2 and 3 call, SB Villain 2 makes it 41, folds to Hero with AK who...

Reads and notes: Villain 1 tossed the 2 red chips in very casual (per usual) and UTG 1 and 2 were two of the worst players at the table. Villain 2 took about 5 seconds with his raise. Hero also noticed Villain 1 had already cut out calling chips, but take that with a grain of salt.

Thanks in advance for comments

Not that hard to get QQ+ twice in an hour...

I either flat or shove here. Any 3-bet commits, so if you're gonna, just shove. I prob flat though, and c/f any missed flop, stack off against V1 on an ace or K high flop and against V2 on an ace only. If we had a better read on V2, I might just flold pre, but almost readless I'm not folding here.

Unusual sizing for V2 given your descript. He raises to only $41 with ~$32 of dead $ in. Strength or weakness?

Anyway, he will be 1st to act OTF and c-betting large appears to be his mo, albeit a short history. Think I'm folding until I get more info.

I don't think it's a big mistake to fold here. I do think it's a mistake to call though. I'd shove or fold. If I'm shoving it's because I think V2 shows up with a wide value 3bet range that includes hands like JJ that he might fold if you cold 4bet, or hands like AQ that you are ahead of.

By the way, taking a full 5 seconds before acting is a timing tell and in my experience it usually (not always) is strength. So this might tilt me toward a fold if I thought it was a close decision otherwise.

As played, Hero decides to flat to hopefully see a flop, instead V1 takes about 10 seconds and makes it 110, folds back to V2 who takes about 5 sec before pushing his stack in. As Hero is contemplating his action V1 has already stacked his chips and has them at the betting line...

You've got like 13% equity here, best case. V1 is never light here with the action that was in front of him, and has QQ+ for sure and prob KK+, V2 has KK+ and prob exactly AA. There *might* be a tiny bit of AK in their ranges, but prob not. Fold.
