Live 1$-2$ NLHM at my hometown casino. 9-Handed.

Hero (UTG+2) with stack of 400$, tight-aggressive solid image, 20 years old (just lost a big pot the hand before)

Vilain 1 (BTN) with stack of 175$, tight weak image, about 35 years old

Vilain 2 (UTG+1) with a stack of 270$, loose-aggressive image (medium player), about 30 years old.

Hero's hand: AT

Preflop action: Folded to Vil 2 who raises to 7$, Hero calls, Vil 1 calls, BB calls. (Pot is 29$)

Flop comes: A7T

Action: BB cheks, vil 2 cheks, I raise to 25$, vil 1 calls, BB calls, vil 2 reraises to 75$, Hero calls, vil 1 shoves 168$, BB folds, vil 2 reshoves 263$...

Hero?

(Hero as them covered, pot is 560$ and it cost him 188$ to call)

I think it's a disciplined fold pre. Calling can't be too bad.

Don't fold post-flop.

On the flop, after V2 3-bets to 75, I think you just need to shove. I'm not sure how it's better to go to the turn with a pot of at least 200 with < 200 left in stacks. Of course all the chips are going in. You do block AA,TT, and against 77, you have 4 boat outs twice and the back door nut flush draw for > a total 20% equity even vs the set, and certainly V ranges also include worse two-pairs, draws, combo draws, pairs + draws, and perhaps even some pairs. As played, once the flop gets back to you, you have to figure out the main and side pot math, but you should certainly have the equity/odds to call.

So I'd shove over the 75. As played, I'd call.

I don't know why you didn't shove over V2's raise.

This is a very sick spot and it's a 1/2 game which means most likely someone has minimum bottom set or a pair and flush draw type hand. Really all kind of depends on what the money means to you, either we get a showdown, and you can open gold and set a different image and pick diff spots. If I'm stuck in calling if I just sat I'd sit back and watch the action

Lol to folding pre somewhat deep, as played clearly you are in on this flop and likely see 77 or FL Draw/combo draw

Ya I would usually have folded but not in that situation since the raiser is loose aggressive and the rest of the table really tight.

And I like the shove after the resaise, thats probably what I should have done! Thanks

We're UTG+2 with ATs 6 left to act. 135BB isn't that deep.

Calling isn't horrible, but folding is obviously fine. Lol to loling.

If ATs is a lol, how about A9s? With what Axs does the laughter end?

ATs is the cutoff point imo.

I wouldn't fold it pre though unless I know V is a complete nit.

Late to the party, but this is a pretty standard call here.
Getting a great price, on a board that can have a good number of draws on it, worse two pairs, and blocking 4 of the 9 possible sets. And our back door flush draw.

I'm never folding.

I think calling pre is fine. If you fold, no worries. But if you have a decent ability to read hands, then we should be calling here.

With the hands that showed down, the hand essentially played itself with that flop. The issue isn't if your flop call was a good play, but what was your reason to just call. Were you trapping or Pot controlling and why?

I think it was just a bad play to just call, I didn't want to put too much money in the pot because I was scared of sets, but I really should have shoved right there since there are draws and set are less probable because I have one A and one T...
