Hello,

I have an awkward hand.

This is in Australia.

Hero in MP with AhKd.

UTG V1 ($500) raises $20
loose passive V2 ($200) flats
Hero($210) 3-bet $70
BTN V3 ($280) cold-calls
Original raiser and flatter both reluctantly call.

Flop ($280) 6c5s9s.
V1 checks
V2 checks
Hero ($140 eff) ???

Do I just shove here? Or do I try saving my $130? WTF am I doing with 0.5 SPR with pretty much no fold equity? I was hoping for a successful squeeze preflop with my tight image, or worst case scenario, to be against 1 opponent. But this was ******ed.

I expect this board to hit V1 and V2 who reluctantly called my 3bet, and I expect V3 who cold called my 3-bet to show up with overpairs like TT-QQ a lot of times, if he doesn't have AQ-AK.

check and give up 4 way
Hope btn checks behind and you may bink ott

With $40+ already in the pot and us only with $210, I would actually probably just jam preflop. I don't mind the 3bet to $70 either, which will leave us with about a PSB to jam HU. Lol @ preflop result, pokr is dead, ldo.

I think I ship the flop. There's still a slight chance we're ahead (giving a free card to the world would be horrible in this case), there's still a slight chance we have FE (44- has a tough call), there's still a chance we get called by worse (draws), and even if we get called by 1 pair we still give ourselves 3:1 to get to the river (which is the exact odds we need to chase clean overs, plus we guarantee we realize our equity which a check and facing a turn shove UI does not do).

Agree with GG. Just ship it in preflop. There's no point in messing about here at your stack size.

As played, I suppose you have to jam it in on the flop. You may be ahead and anyone with a small flush draw has to fold and anyone with a midpair has to worry you have an overpair.

My guess is that a small flush draw is folding to a 1/2 PSB shove in this game exactly 0% (plus it would be a horrible fold at this point, imo). Still, one of those spots recently discussed in a thread where one action is +EV for two players due to size of pot.

I ended up shoving, V3 re-jammed with QQ, lost the hand.

I recon direct odds to better pair is barely there but it's also just so awkward against 4 people, dunno.

I would have jammed, too. Reload!
