Hi all,

2/5. Hero is short-stacking per the usual. V1 is young Asian reg who has been fairly active, raising twice an orbit or so. V2 is loose-passive 60 y/o who has raised once or twice in the past two hours.

V1 raises $25 in MP, BTN calls, V2 3! $125 from SB, hero has KK in BB and $380 eff. Hero?

A. Call and GII on non-A flops?

B. Fold pre and tell no one?

C. Jam pre and if he has AA, chalk it up to a cooler?

Thanks,
DT

Your stack is close to 2.5x the size of the three-bet, which would be a standard four-betting size from out of position head up with deeper stacks. You would want to size up a bit if you could because of the other two players.

But you can't do that because you are short-stacking, so just get it in.

76 bb is not exactly short but would just jam. The biggest downside to calling is you may incorrectly fold on axx flops if villain is jamming worse pairs, etc. With only 1psb left.

Why would you ever fold here really. It's a 3 bet pot, they're going to happen, you need to get it in, easy shove

Unless you think V2 would only 3 bet with AA or KK, just GII. Good chance he'll talk himself into calling with AK.

Trivial ship without a super strong read.

Shortstackers dream shove spot. Why did you post this?

Because this was the only V at the table I would even remotely consider folding pre to, and this time I would have been correct to fold pre. Meh.

You have a two hour read on the guy. Enough said.

You rarely run KK into AA and when it’s your turn to do so, only having 75bb on the table is lucky IMO.

The three-bettor would have to be Old Man Decaf with Sweet-N-Lo before I considered folding.

If he'd folded every hand preflop for 2 hours I'd been observing him and the physical motion when raised broke the spiderwebs coating him, I guess I fold.
