7 Handed game because the fish went broke. People are very active with 3b. But there weren't alot of 4b's yet.

Hero: Has a tight aggressive Image. Maybe a little card dead and on the tighter side. But also mixed in some 3b and one time i tripple barreld another guy of a hand. (V2)

V1: Because the 5/10 table broke, this guy came to our table with a huge stack. I was pretty sure that he is a good winning lag. He weared a phill hellmuth cage and was talkative. I saw some 3bs from him before.

Hero: 1000
V1: 2300
V:1300
TTH:

Hero opens 77 Utg2 for 20, V2 calls, V1 3b to 90 on the button. For me it was clear i want to defend somehow against his wide 3b. I saw that the other player is going to fold. I decided to call and play poker. After the Hand i thought 4b would be easier. What kind of size do you use? 230?

Flop came down: KK2 with 2 Diamonds. I have the 7 of Diamond.
Hero checks and V1 cbets 70 and hero calls.
Turn: Q hero checks V1 bets 240. For me the large sizing was kind of a sing that he is on the nuts or on a bluff, its more polarazed
Hero? I thought about all 3 options. What do you prefer here? Raise for information and to deny equity or hope to check it down?
Thanks for you input

Folding pre is an option, but I don’t hate a call.
If you were going to test him I would have done it on the flop, not the turn.
But personally, I would just let it go AP and wait for a better spot.
Trying to outplay solid players that 3! you on the button when you have a middling hand is not a recipe for long term success.

Even if you raised the flop, I almost guarantee this guy just calls with a pretty wide range to see what you do on the turn.

idk what's happening here. Just fold to the 3b pre for now. AP ckf turn.

Grunch: I prefer to limp 77 this deep from utg+1 under most circumstances in cash games (tournament way different). Let BTN raise wide so I can set-mine or cover low boards getting c. 70-1 IO.

AP pre: once we've opened, we can either cap ourselves oop or 4b/fold. I prefer the latter, mainly because I'm not good enough to play tricky Vs this deep oop.

Flop: I think this flop should be xr/fold against his BTN 3b range. Basically, you say to V: "I may have a K but I certainly have at least a pair. I don't think you have a pair or a K here". His bet is really a blocker to maintain his initiative. It prices in the FD, suggesting he has Ad or Qd anyway.

AP: Plenty of Qx in his BTN 3b range. He bets much bigger now - no more blocker. He now wants to defend his AQs against a FD and charge your out-kicked Queens or skeptical mid-pairs.

If we call turn we have 600 behind and SPR is getting low. I'd rather xr jam than call. So I'm folding. Calling makes little sense.

I don't mean to be harsh. But Hero created this gross, deep oop spot against a capable V. Hero wanted to play poker. Stationing off 3 streets in minimum defense mode isn't much poker here.

Fold pre, especially when you see the other guy wants to fold. 4b is spew.

call flop fine

fold turn.

Big +1.

This x100

If you want to make things even more complicated, then yes, I agree.

I agree with the "Just fold pre for now. As played check/fold turn."-responses.

Totally agree with folding pre and AP fold turn. I think I stated this. I don’t think I’d find myself in this situation outside of a tournament.

My only point is that x r / fold flop against BTN raising range is better than stationing off three streets in minimum defense mode. Let me know if you disagree as I very much respect your input. Thanks!

4b small is sweet if the squeezer is in the blinds
you get to over realize equity with mid pairs

easy fold turn, you're only supposed to continue with a % of your range on each street and 77 is the bottom of your range

Fold pre... people are underbluffing squeezes from +1 opens. As for a defending range use TT+ KQss & AQo. As for 4bet bluffs use AJo & A5ss. Check calling flop is correct now fold turn.

I don't get the fold pre comments. We are still getting +ev set mining odds and the description of V 3betting light, I think it at least warrants a call.

AP, fold turn, river will be a tough spot and you're hoping it checks through.

Well, you would be blowing up the pot even more out of position against, VERY likely, a non-believer. I don't think anyone will buy that you have a king here. It's very hard to flop trips and you would most likely check/call if you did. So the chances of him calling the flop and you having to shut down and fold to any bet later on are pretty high, I expect.

Agree, additional $ offers more attractive odds, both pot and implied.

Turn uptick could easily be for value wrt your flop call. Ez fold.

Not a single winning reg calls this hand preflop...
