All players involved in pot have been at table for over an hour.

Villain 1: calls lots of my raises, likes Ax
Villain 2: winning, tight, has shown only AA
Villain 3: has shown three small pairs in last hour and complains that big flops are ruining his small pairs. Earlier, lost his stack (about 200) to V2 with KK vs AA

$1/2 NL (9 handed)

UTG Hero ($295)
V1 ($350)
V2 ($500)

V3 ($171)

Hero is dealt 6d5d

Hero raises to 7, V1 calls, V2 raises to $25, fold, V3 calls, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls, V1 calls

Flop ($103) 6,6,4
Hero cheerfully says "check to" V1, V1 checks, V2 bets $25, V3 shoves all-in

V2 and V3 almost certainly have overpairs. There's a slight chance V3 has 44, and V1 probably has nothing.

Should I shove or just call 146 (slightly over half my stack). I've been trying to win more with my big hands so I'm thinking just call.

Fold preflop given that you're UTG. I like opening this hand in late position but this opening it UTG isn't going to be profitable for you. If someone forced me to open I would also fold o his 3-bet.

But yeah I like flatting. It's not like your hand is vulnerable since they likely have 2 outs each.

You check calling 146 seems pretty strong either way Imo. I guess calling with the odds may get one other player in with an over pair but I'm still shipping the turn. V2 betting 25 into a pot of 100 doesn't seem to strong anyways so I doubt he calls an all-in.

fold pre

I doubt V2's calling range is that different here if you call or raise, IMO.

So, if you think they both have overpairs, all-in would be the only logical play.

I think V3 may be a little stronger than you think, though. V2 is probably an overpair.

Fold preflop the first time (we've had a few of these suited connectors in EP threads recently, read those). Why did we raise; what's your thought process here? At most normal loosish tables all we are going to do is created a bloated multiway pot OOP where we have 6 high and are very unlikely to flop the best hand (best hand wins in very multiway pots). I also fold to the 3bet. Our implied odds against V2 are only ~11:1 so not good, and far less against shorter V3; even though this is shaping up to be a 3+ way pot, we're OOP and I just don't think we're deep enough.

As played, I just call the flop and hope V1 continues along. Anything we do here will be strong, but calling could look like a small overpair that ain't willing to fold yet. No reason to shove just in case V1 manages a hero fold.

raising utg with 56 is the worst way to play the hand folding > Limp > raise. and if you limp, fold to any raise. as played flat because the 3bettor's cb was so weak i doubt he has anything he's willing to stack off with. maybe V1 will get stubborn with 77-10s, A4, 57, 35, etc.

preflop is pretty awful. That's about all I can say on that.

Flop- there isn't much harm in calling on the flop if there isn't a flush draw out there, which I didn't read. You'll look like a monster no matter what, but you can givethem a chance to play.

I don't think it really matters whether you call or push. They are either committed to the hand or are ready to get out. I would call just in case. This one kinda plays itself no matter what the result.

listen to the others on pre flop play. All i have to say is think about why you are raising and what you are trying to accomplish. I don't think you could come up with enough +ev reasons why you raised and its just more of a clicking buttons kind of play.

I guess you can call to try to keep some dominated hands in but its very doubtfull

Seems like implied odds are a lot higher than 11:1 here.

Ya, I think you're right. I think we have $287 left and have to call $17 more, so more upwards of 16:1 or whatever. But still, not fistpumpy...
