Hero is slag, V1 is very solid young player, V2 opens wide and good hand reader, V3 is super sstacked at like 13bb and his hand is super wide, imo.

V1 1k, V2 750, V3 65, Hero covers

Hero straddles BU @2/5

V1 opens to 35 from SB. He has iso'd my button straddle 5 times in almost as many orbits. V2 flats in ep, V3 ships 65 in lj, Hero flats with 9h9s, V1 makes it 200 straight, V2 goes into the tank for about 5s then ships 750.

I probably fold the first time. The second time is an insta fold.

My lower bound for gii here would probably be QQ maybe JJ. Doubt V2 is likely to do this with 88 or worse and no reason to doubt V1s strength.

fold

I don't see any dynamic with V2 to justify a call.

Calling the shove from V3 is meh, it's questionable whether we re-raise to iso the dead money and all-in.

Flatting is kind of gross, we're going to repopped way too much by V1 if he's aggressive. You should be mixing in traps in this spot.

I think you should be folding pre or isoing the dead money.

Snap fold. V1 is completely uncapped here, he's raised at every opportunity so his range should be well ahead of 99. V2 flatted once, but he could have done so knowing that V3 could reopen the betting with a short stack shove. Even if V2's range is capped, he could make this play with a medium strength hand that's ahead of ours, like TT or JJ.

Every so often we're up against a random smattering of overcards and are getting the equity to call. However, most of the time there's at least one bigger pair in someone's hand and we need to fold. We're never ever way ahead.

Once V2 back-jams, it's a snap fold.

Yeah I came up with 27% needed to justify a call vs

V1: AQ/K, TT+
V2: AK, TT+
V3: 22+, AT-K, KQs

In the moment, I folded

Doesn't this leave me open to getting 5bet by V1? I would have iso'd V3 to 185 if I didn't think there would be a sizable percent chance I'm getting repopped.

Good fold. In particular, would be surprised if V1 showed up with AQ here, and even TT/JJ are pretty light to start 4-betting in a live game, especially since both are pretty easy set-mines with deep-ish stacks and only 30 more to go. Feels like V1 set up the re-re-raise with his sizing, allowing V3 to reopen the betting.

Which doesn't really prove much except that 1) people iso me fairly light irrespective of position and are willing to call down three streets with one pair, so I guess I'm doing something right

And 2) even the solid dudes can steam off 160bb
