2/5 NL cash game
I have Ac, Js with a stack of 350.
V1 has 250, V2 has us covered.
V1 opens for 15 in middle position, I call in the hijack, V2 calls in SB, and BB also calls. (60 in the pot)
Flop is Ks, Qc, 10d. Blinds check, V1 bets 35, I call, and V2 calls. (165)
Turn is 7c. V2 checks, and V1 goes all in for 200. Hero?

If we were deeper then there are merits to flatting here again to try and induce V2 to call.
As it is playing 70bb just stick it in, don't think the extra $100 is going to change much for villan.

Call or all in doesnt really matter either way is only an extra 100

What kind of player is V2? If you flat, is he likely to think of it as a sign of strength or weakness? I think your decision comes down to that question. Flatting here looks super strong if Villain is a thinking player.

Any halfway decent reg will read your flat call as incredible strength. Any fish will ask how much the bet was, and may change their decision based on it being $300 to call rather than $200. So flat if V2 is a fish, ship if he is even sort of has second level thinking.

V2 does not seem like a huge fish to me but not a great player either. I shoved for 300 because I was thinking it might look weaker. He just said, "Well, that makes this easy." And he folded.

He would have folded anyway but wanted to act like he made a good laydown.
Nice hand.

Tank for 5 min and just call, so the other Villian in the hand can over shove and get you to fold (or so he thinks). Joking. Seriously, you could decide to trap and just call, but the other Villian has to think you have a monster when you call anyways. So tanking for maybe a minute and calling doesn't seem bad. It's unlikely the 3rd Villian is calling whether you shove or call.
