$1/2. Standard nitty table.

H on second orbit. ($300). BTN
V1 MP 75yo WG. ~$250. TP
V2 MP+1 65yo Asian lady. TP. ~$200
V3 MP+2 35yo WG. Seems like rec. I don’t know him and I’m a reg. ~$185

OTTH.
H button straddles for $5.

Fold to V1, makes it $11. V2 calls, V3 makes it $30. Fold to H who looks down at AA. What’s H’s move/sizing/logic behind sizing?

You are extremely shallow stacked. 35-50 straddles deep with everyone. Are there other players at the table with deeper stacks?

Getting the money in now would be pretty standard and completely fine. Against V3 as described I might break the 1/3 rule and go to about 70-75 and shoving pretty much any flop.

It’s a $300 max buy in table. Most are between $200-250.

I would probably do 80 or 85.

Anything under $100. Unless the table is just gambling. Then just rip it in.

But if they fold, then somewhere around $75.

I’d go really small, V3 is the main target here so something like 60$ is fine

Raise to $69 and try not to giggle. All other players will giggle and call.

Thanks everyone. H was in the consensus ballpark but a little heavy I guess. H shot for $90 but miscounted and went $95. V1 folds, V2 and V3 each call for basically half their stack. My intention was to size up to a point where each V was effectively committing their stacks and felt fortunate to get multiple callers.

Flop ($300)
992
V2 check, V3 jams for $88. H calls. V2 calls leaving like ~$26 behind or something.

Turn ($564)
992 T
V2 check, H $26, V2 call and MHIG. V3 claimed pocket 7’s and V2 showed JTs.

You played it fine. If you’re still getting that kind of action at the sizing you used then there is no reason to go smaller.
