Villain: mid 20's girl; Ive played with her before. She knows how to sit on her chips but also has a wide PF range and will fold if she doesn't hit. Saw her showdown lots of K rag Ace rag.

Villain 2: Kind of like Villain 1 but he has a tighter PF range it looks like.


Villaion 3: never played with him. He seemed to be tight PF and will chase draws and what not by calling down. I saw him call down ace high to turn and river a straight. (double gutter) "I had to"

Hero: 30 year male; seen as "Puckered up". I play tight but Aggressive.


Had been there for about 2 hours and never played many pots. I had won two previous pots with no showdown as they see me as :having the nuts".


$1/3 NL (10 handed)
Villain 1 had around 300.
Villain 2 had around 1000.
Villain 3 had about 200.
Hero had 225.

Hero is dealt A K in the BB.
Villain 3 was utg2 and raised to 12.
Villain 2 was MP1 and raised to 40.
Villain 1 instantly put in 140.
folds to Hero. 225 chips ??????

I was stuck here and did not know what to do. Is this a snap All In spot?


Also the 5 dollar straddle is mandatory.

*

In a BB sense, if the straddle is mandatory your playing less than a 50BB stack which would mean this is a jam. On the other hand, it just went raise, 3bet, and 4bet in a 10 handed game. Obv you have blockers vs AA and KK but they still account for 6 combos total and anything from QQ down you're behind but only a bit. If V1 has AQ or any other Ax hand then you're golden, but I think that's a fairly optimistic range. Even AQ is a stretch because it would seem it'd be better to play IP. Her 4bet seems like such a value hand so I'd suspect JJ+, maybe even as tight as QQ+ and AK only.

As played, I would probably fold. You've invested $2 and would be sticking your stack in to be potentially flipping or dominated. If you can ride the variance then jam away, but I wonder if you couldn't find better spots than this to get your money in.

Shoving would be very bad. You're not getting good pot odds and you are behind V1's range, and the other two villains are still uncapped. This is a definite fold.

QQ is also a fold. Even KK is a meh spot. Not folding KK though for these stacks.

Ok, yah in this spot I ended up indeed folding. As did the rest of the villains. She ended up showing one queen and mucked the other card.
