Hero just moved to this table (8 hands ago) bc it seemed that the action was good on the table. The really big spewtards that Hero recognized (the reason that Hero RTMed)had left just before Hero moved.

Hero[BU]: I have folded pretty much every hand except for one where i openlimped in UTG with a small pocket pair (33) and the BU and blinds called. Flop was high cards but it managed to get to showdown without anyone betting and 33 was good. I am a regular at this casino but I dont recognize either villain so I dont think its really relavant. Also, Hero is 19 years old and is fairly talkative to another very young regular at the table. We talked about the 10/20 PLO games that he had played this morning. I'm sitting with about $550.

Villain 1[HJ]: Young guy, twenty something. Seems very agressive. He has played pretty much every hand while I was at the table and raised atleast 3 of them to $12+. Based on table talk he has been playing since midnight (its around 11am when this hand took place). An interesting hand happened where he bet 1.5x pot OTR ($200) with trips (93s on 99JK5r, he limped called a $5 raise OTB with this hand) and got called down by KJ fairly quickly. He is sitting with like 1.5K.

Villain 2[SB]: Middle aged guy. I dont remember him doing anything remarkable while I was at the table. I havent seen him before so he is not a regular. He is sitting with $125.

Hero is dealt TT

2 limps, V1 raises to $7, CO calls, Hero 3bets to $32, V2 shoves for $125, V1 thinks for a few seconds then throws out 5 greens to make the call, CO hems and haws for a few seconds then folds, Hero folds???

Yeah, hero folds, well played.

V2, you can put him on JJ+, AK. You're behind that range, but there's no more action, so you are thinking about V1.

You can't be happy on the flop about much other than a flopped set. V1's range is probably about the same, JJ+, AK, you have to give them both credit for premium hands here.

If KT4 flops and they both flip over AK, well, that sucks, but no reason to get your whole stack involved when you need a flopped set to feel good about your hand.

happy fold, well played, although the 3B was a little strong (when it isnt a squeeze, id probably be doing 22-25ish, id probably do 30ish if there was one or two callers)

Fold. Also 3bet less, more like 3x the raise amount. You will get the same information while risking less.

it was a squeeze, and V1 is pretty much always calling anyways (other than QQ+, AK which he probally 4bets) so I think my 3bet sizing is fine with effective stacks.

Sorry, missed the caller. Raise size is fine, so well played no complaints.

If V1 didn't want you in the hand he would have raised. He just called so he wants you in the hand.

Easy fold, WP.

Ok, I will post results now as I have gotten sufficent responses. I agreed with everyone's thought process and folded pretty quickly. After seeing the hands they showed I wondered if my ranging here was way off but after reading your responses, I think their ok in general.
V1 shows J9s
V2 shows AJs

If the guys hasnt seen you play much your 3bet range is pretty tight so he would be brave to shove is stack into you without a monster? Surely here if you call your best case scenario is a flip against ak? Instant fold for me

Wow - V1 calling with J9s....you're crushing him, and are actually a small favorite to AJs as well.

You were probably just a small underdog to the field with both V1 and V2 in the hand, so I suppose you could have called, but it's close, and given the action I think it's an easy fold. But good to know that V1 will apparently call somewhat light.
