5/5, 6 players

SB has more than $1k
BB has about $700
UTG has more than $1K
Hero in BTN has $1k

UTG opens for $25, HJ and CO fold. Hero has some history with UTG and I have a tight image. UTG is also not aggressive enough. In a previous hand, he didn't bet the river with a flopped set. He was worried about opponent having a straight even though opponent could have a wide range, needed two cards for the straight and especially when opponent checked it back to him.

SB is a loose aggressive player. He loves a good squeeze spot. I have seen him squeeze with 99 and given his frequency I suspect he is doing this much wider.

BB is a loose aggressive player. He will call big 3-bets with low pocket pairs, suited aces.

I sometimes 3-bet my TT and I sometimes call. I choose to call here with position.

SB makes it $125. BB thinks for few seconds and calls. UTG makes a relatively quick call. Pot is now about $400. I have $975 behind.


- Knowing blinds tendencies should I always 3-bet UTG?
- After the 3-bet and two calls, should I call, fold Or shove?

I wouldn't 3bet TT against a non-aggressive UTG raiser. TT doesn't do well against JJ+, AK. Even if you are ahead on the flop, you won't win much more money.

If the villains are any good, a call/4 bet is going to be read as 88-TT. They can now play perfectly against you. Not a good idea.

With the SPR so low and 3 villains in the hand, you aren't going to be able to steal the pot. So you're set mining. I'd call and if I missed the set, x/f. Never folding here.

Worrying about your opponents playing perfectly against you isn't a thing if you are playing a good strategy. Spoiler alert they still won't.

TT seems like a profitable jam here if SB really is squeezing too wide otherwise I'd end up calling. Both jamming and calling are +EV.

It really comes down to how wide UTG will call . Since he is not that aggressive I am like the idea of shoving.

3bet to $75 and fold to a 4bet from UTG

when the two players to our left are each actively squeezing, cold calling even IP becomes tough so I probably 3bet/fold a linear range. I'd rather play a pot HU IP even against a tighter range than find myself in this position

jamming 200BB over 3 players with a capped range? no thanks

just because the SB squeezes wide doesn't mean he's not uncapped, people acting like UTG is the only player who can reasonably call here

Call is okay preflop. Monker calls TT around ~50% of the time vs an UTG range and that is 6max for 100BBs.

I probably prefer a 3bet in general because of the deeper stacks - so your 3bet frequency IP should go up.

Call now that you are closing the action.

Looks like most of you are advocating a call.

Result: I shoved. Blinds fold and UTG goes into the tank. Starts talking and says would you ever do this with AA or KK. He says he has a monster hand and was trapping others. He finally folds and says he had AK before leaving the table.
