$1/2 at Foxwoods on a very busy Saturday night. This is a pretty dream table, with two big fish each with 300bb and a pretty terrible MAWG to boot. Hero's image has been pretty tight passive due to the table dynamics and being card dead. My opens of $15-16 have been called by 4-5 people and thus I haven't c-bet at all unless I hit the flop since I'm getting called on the flop a near 100% of the time. I've adjusted by raising to $20-24 pre-flop but still getting 2-3 callers. Important reads are below

V1 is middle aged Asian in Yankees cap, total fish. Opens 25-30% of hands and also calls large 3bets with marginal holdings. Saw V call a large l/rr pre-flop with A7 and stacked a TAG on an all diamond board. TAG showed A A. $500

V2 is a younger Asian who is a mega station. Calls 90% of raises pre-flop and opens around 30% of the time. Plays draws fairly passively calling most of the time, though is capable of aggression. Has probably shown 3-4 bluffs within the past hour. $600 stack


Hero($380) looks down at T T in SB

V1 raises to $12 in UTG+2, 3 calls, V2 calls in CO, BTN calls, Hero raises to $65, V1 tank folds, V2 calls.

Flop($178) 653

Hero bets $85, V says all-in, Hero ???

snap calls? You're getting like 2.5:1 and there are a ton of draws or worse pairs V could have as described.

If you Cbet small to induce, you got what you wanted, call.

I don't love it and it's high variance, but you did size preflop well and set up a decent SPR against a guy who's bluffing too much on a drawy board. I'm not snapping but I am calling.

Agree that calling is best. So many draws for him to do this with.

I don't like 3betting with TT into 6 players from the SB. You're probably getting at least one caller and you'll be OOP. I don't think TT is strong enough against villains who would call a player who 3bet into 6 opponents. I would call and set mine.

As played, I would call the shove. There are so many draws and weaker pocket pairs that would do this. This is a pretty ideal flop for TT. If you're not willing to get it in on this flop you shouldn't be 3betting pre with TT.

The fact that this thread exists indicates OP isn't sure if he should call, which just reinforces the whole post above about 3betting TT into 6 people from the SB

AP, obvious call, obviously

3-betting or calling from the SB is pretty table-dependent. Against these described villains, I don't think a 3-bet is wrong, but I would size it bigger. There's already $72 in the pot and you're only making it $65. I would go $90 or $100 if you're going to isolate.

You got a great flop for your hand. Now call.

^this

With these table dynamics I would raise, as you did, but make it 90 to 100.

As played you have to call.

remember, playing against these kinds of villains on this kind of table, variance will always be high and we must be willing to GII in spots where we normally wouldn't. If you've come to the casino with one buy in, move tables. If you're sufficiently rolled, play in these games and just ride the roller coaster
