2/5 NL

Hero (BTN: $1,200): Young 20s white kid in business attire, regular at the casino but usually plays 1/2, been transitioning to 2/5, not sure if the other regs at the table are aware of this. Playing on the snugger side preflop, showing down premiums for the most part as the table has multiple fish/stations. Has not 3-bet in the ~2 hours at the table.

V1 (MP: $925): Mid 20s white reg. TAG - most aggressive pre-flop opener at the table by far, definitely a thinking player. Capable of opening light, but have not seen him play in a 3-bet pot yet this session.

V2 (UTG: $800): Old White guy. Whale. Doesn't like to fold and has been consistently giving away chips and re-buying.

Relevant Hero HH:

V1 opens UTG $25, Hero flats with JJ, folds to BTN who 3! to $95, V1 calls, Hero back 4! jams for $500, BTN calls and V1 folds, Hero flops a set vs BTN's QQ and doubles up.

OTTH:

V2 Straddles $10 UTG.
Folds to V1 who raises to $40 in MP ($30-$40 standard sizing in Straddled pots)
Hero 3! to $115 OTB with AA
Folds to V2 who cold calls in the straddle, V1 tanks for about 20 seconds and then calls.


Pot $350
Flop QT4
Checks to hero who bets $170. (I think my sizing may be too small here on this drawy of a board, $240 seems a lot better)
V2 calls.
V1 tanks for awhile, cutting out and counting chips multiple times, and then raises to $390.

Hero?

Puke spot. V1s range is so heavily tilted towards QQ is there anything else he could have? KK maybe? AKss probably jams, not min raise. His raise size reaks of trying to milk V2s stack. Plus the spend 2 minutes counting then raise is a strong hand tell.

I think I puke fold here.

SPR just over 2 so I think you just have to go with it...especially since your cbet sizing looks so weak. This flop kinda sucks because it hits both Vs. Either one could easily have a set or AK.

This is a minor point, but next time make it $120. It's 3x the PFR. If they're gonna call your 3bet then get that extra $5. Plus $115 is kind of a sizing tell (looks like it wants a call/afraid of betting too much and getting a fold) whereas 3x represents a normal 3bet range.

I really hate your JJ hand and it sounds to me like there's a lot more at play here than a standard hand so advice from people who werent at the table is probably not going to help all that much.

Well played. I agree you should bet a little more on the flop.

I think you should fold. Sets dominate their flop action and 3! calling range. V1 should really only have one semi-bluff combo, AsKs. It's possible, but unlikely, he has AQ and KK. This is a straight-forward shove ~100BB. I think you have to dump it vs. two villains ~200BB deep.
