1/1 at Local casino, Bristol, UK.

''Fishy Friday'' as my friends call it, never fails to amaze us all. As per usual, table full of fish.

Table 2
S1 -(£600) A new friend of mine, doesn't get out of line, plays ABC for the most part but is getting to grips with a new level of poker thinking.
S2 - (£80) Ancient dude, with his medication out on the table, SUPER NIT, plays around 1hand per 2hours? lol
S3- (£300 -4th BI) WHALE. Been at table for about 2hours now, range is anything, calls anything preflop .. has seen to tripple barrel bluff with 8high on more than one occasion, has an obvious bet sizing tell. Called a 4-bet pre with T6o.
S4 (HERO £170ish) - Winning image, knows a lot of people in the local so very chatty with others and dealer etc, TAG for the most part and know when to pick spots. 3-bet a few times tonight always with premium holdings QQ-AA+AKs. Got sucked out on AKvsKK for 250BB's
Shown down one bluff, made a few more in easy spots. Have a good read of the table.
S5 (£350) - Competent player, hasn't shown down many players. LOVES to squeeze in position and so far has squeeze 5/5 spots that i've noticed arrise. Often 3-bets a lot pre flop and OTF. Not seen step out of line, TAG mostly.
S6 (£450) - Fish - slightly more poker knowledge and awareness than s3 whale, however calls preflop WIDE, calls flop WIDER, and calls almost all draws. Capable of folding at most 2p (all be it an easy fold - 78o on an 678ccc board). Chatty guy, bit of an idiot imo. LAG. Seems to have it in his head as he has stated 4/5 times that he thinks im purposefully trying to bluff him.
S7 - (£400) another friend - Super TAG, competent player that is playing below his true level limit.
S8 - (Villian £150 ) Tight preflop, semi tight flop/turn, NIT river. Doesn't step out of line too often, capable of floating A/Khighs in okay boards.
S9 - (£200) Newbie to live, competent online player 'aparantly', keeps leaving table. not much reads other than seems to be NIT.

HERO on BTN w/AQ
Villian (UTG +1 (s8)) Opens £6
S1,S3 call.
HERO - debates a squeeze for 5 seconds, and flats.
SB S5 - calls
BB S6 - 3-bets to £25
V,S1,S3 all call.
HERO?! I just flat, calling £19 into £112 seems pretty decent odds.

FLOP (131): A99
Original 3-better checks
V bets £46, folds around to HERO..

HERO's line here? I have exactly £147 remainding stack. Do I FLAT with £101 behind, and the original 3-better still to act? Do I go over the top and raise? Do I fold and let it go for a better spot?

I think my mistake was calling preflop, if an Ace comes down I don't really know, given preflop whether V has AK here or not, and makes it difficult to play. However, i am in position. V hasn't stepped out of line at all, hard to range his flat 3-bet range OOP.. i'd presume 99-QQ and AJss-AKo.
Am i applying logic that original 3-better has JJ-KK here after checking A high board? - if so, whats my line here?

Will post results after.

Not raising this hand pre flop the first time around is criminal, especially due to the effective stacks and the fishiness of the table.

With all these villains seeing a flop, while are you discounting that one of them may be holding a 9?

As played fold flop and reflect on how you butchered this hand.

3 betting the small raise when on the button is a raise for value with the likely best hand preflop and to thin the field so when you flop top pair your likely good or can at least play poker post flop in position with the initiative.

Is this Always a 3bet on the button with (what i knew was likely best hand)?
It went through my head to 3bet IP, not entirely sure why i didn't, perhaps my perception of original raiser being quite tight.

OTF, the £46 bet was folded to me leaving just original 3-better to act, a 9 isn't in his range for 3-betting £25 preflop, as much of a fish he is, and nor in the donk leaders range. So a 9 wasn't scary for me at all.

Certainly do not flat. Shove or fold. I'm kind of a noob so take that with a grain of salt

Given your description of V as being super tight PF I suppose you can discount the 9. If he opened with AK that kind of sucks.

SPR makes it a trivial ship.

Whale is probably the only one with a 9 in his range. If one of the other players has AK, oh well.
You can get called by plenty of worse aces, and flush draws.
