Hi guys,

I started playing at a local casino where the biggest NL game is 1-3. The players are nothing special, a mix of decent players and some clear bad players.

I hadn't played with either of these 3 villains before. My image is solid but not a nut peddler. All three villains have right around $250 to start, i have them covered.

UTG limps for 3,
with two black kings I raise to 16
two cold callers and utg calls as well.

The first cold caller is wild and spastic, he can have anything. Second cold caller is smarter and more calculating. UTG is weak and straight forward.

Flop is Tc Jc 3h

utg checks i bet 75,
spastic shoves for about 240, smart guy goes all in for about the same amount, and then utg goes all in as well, for about the same amount.

call or muck?

edit- i should add that as i mulled things over, i sensed utg was somewhat weak. I was more worried about the second guy than either the first all in or the last.

This is a pretty easy fold. Even if you are ahead of spastic's range, the two other players going all-in after a large bet and a raise looks pretty strong IMO, especially UTG. I would range the smart guy as JT, 33, TT and Q9 in this spot; if he is as competent as you say he is he never has AJ or KJ in this spot. Then when UTG calls the all-in after a bet, a shove and a shove you know he has KK beat 99% of the time.

well yeah, i thought it was a pretty easy fold when i was at the table. but i talked myself into them having a lot of drawing hands, so i pondered it for a while and then started really confusing myself.

$165 into a pot of about $800 with an over pair on a draw heavy board.
It would be a crime to fold in this situation. Even in worse case scenarios, you still have outs. The only thing worse than losing that $160 would be seeing one of the Vs scooping that pot when you wouldve ended up with the best hand. Sometimes you have to "GAMBLE"

Hopefully I will someday be able to upgrade poker sniper to the "river monster" version that will allow me to run this type of lunacy.

Against 3 opponents pre, your break even is when all three are shoving top 10% of hands. Any tighter than that you're behind. Much looser, you're ahead but not by much. If you're up for taking a ride on the variance train I guess this is a call.

I think it's a fairly easy fold. Not that AA is any stronger than KK in this situation but I think dumping AA is the correct move too. I expect sets and 2p here often.

Although likely that he lost given that this is a thread, I think that you sometimes have to gamble.

3 way all in sunday night with my AKos against AAs & QJss; and and the only person to fold?
The person with AJos who committed a third of his stack but folded for his remaining $175 stack. The board ran out KQ6K10. I could feel his pain as I dragged in the nice pot.

I see that this is a duplicate thread and OP posted the run out and as I suspected, gotta gamble and sometimes luck comes your way.
