Hero is very young Asian guy, playing rather tight at the table. Likely to have a decent image at the table because of not losing on showdown with any hands yet.

V1 - Late thirties, early forties white male has a solid image at the table. Very capable of 3betting multiway pots with marginal hands. Large stack at the table.

V2/V3 - Image is irrelevant to the hand.

Hero(260) has K

in BB.

V1(~340) limps in MP1, V2(~180) raises to 7 in CO, V3(~220) calls OTB.

Hero raises to 37, all three villains call.

Flop is 6

Hero first to act raises 100.
V1 Shoves, V2 and V3 folds.

Hero?

So the pot is 149 on the flop?

123 to call into a pot of 372. It's not exactly a huge 3bet IMO.

I think it's an easy call given the size of the pot and I assume that V1:s range includes FD:s, 55 and 88. Your 3bet pre also looks a bit squeezy, so I think our hand is a bit under-repped.

Losing to a set in this situation sucks, but I don't see how we can get out of it with this much invested.

This isn't a 3bet. It's also not large. You've also put most of your stack in already so now it's a call. You made the decision when you bet $100. I would suggest reading about SPR. It will help you a lot.

Close.

If you think villain does not have more than just 2-3 combos of the nutflush draw, I think you might be able to get away.

For example, most real solid players arent calling $37 there with the A3 spades; which would mean they have mostly sets.

Having said that, you would have to know your opponent very well to make this kind of fold. You are getting a big price and it is live 1-2 so im calling unless I have played with the guy a long time. There are a lot of idiots out there doing this with JJ.

caveat: My comments are as played. I agree if you wanted to leave yourself a chance to get away, you would have needed to play it different altogether.

Not guaranteed to be ahead, but like jagger04 said, your pre flop play looked squeezy.

Ship it in and close your eyes. Once the river hits, see if the dealer ships you the pot.

You can never fold here to the described villain (or most people given stack size and size of pot)

Never folding after putting so much in and against described player. He could have a ton of draws and even a few other odd hands we are ahead of.

You are already committed after flop bet.

Snap it off

With 3 callers in front you should 3bet in such a way as to put them to a shove or fold decision. You don't want to play KK 4way pot. Play them for a shove instead going 4way to the flop. Now at that flop you got some trouble handling the situation.

In general you want them to have a hard time evaluating on the flop and deciding there if to give you action or bail out. Put the pressure preflop instead let them for cheap and getting action only from hands that beats any overpair.
