Hero $600 - playing tag poker , no limping/charging draws at all costs/leading out every flop head up kind of deal
Villain 1 $400 - reg , I believe he is also playing tag but he also plays SC and one gappers
Villain 2 $340 - Calling station. Literally calls everything hoping to get dumb two pairs or sneaky straights on the turn.


Hero UTG raises with AKo to $16 pre flop , villain 1 calls BUTTON , villain 2 SB calls


Flop

A K 5


villain1 checks , hero raises $27 , villain 2 pops it too $75, villain 1 tanks then folds... Hero??


Spoiler:
I end up shoving ALL IN for about $500 then villain calls withhh A10 ..... the turn was a brick then of course the river came a . Would flatting his flop raise here then betting like $300 on the turn be a better play here? Let me know 2+2 much appreciated

Wait -- was it V1 SB and V2 button? You have V1 acting first on the flop . . .

My two cents (assuming V2 is in position): He's clearly willing to stack off on the flop, his range is wide enough that you can't get away if the turn beats you (or if you're beat already), and a scary turn card could kill your action on a hand that would've paid you on the flop.

Also, flatting leaves a pot of 200 with effective stacks of 250. If the turn blanks, even the worst calling station can get away from a flush draw for those odds (and I'd say naked flush draws are a big part of his range here). And if you bet say 150 -- an amount he might call even though it's a mistake to do so -- he can still get away from the last 100 if he misses the river. Make him pay up front and in full.

His range should be Axcc, AK, 55, A5. I prob make it 180 and shove turn, or just shove flop since Axcc is never folding

Now I'm confused again. You listed V2 as the calling station with a $340 stack, and V1 as the TAG-ish reg with a $400 stack.

Against V2, my original comments stand.

Against V1, I'd go with wj94: Raise half the pot (making a $400 pot, with $210 effective stacks), call with a queasy feeling if he shoves. If he calls shove a blank turn, check a club turn (and seriously consider folding if shoves, because after that action there isn't all that much you can beat).

Of course this assumes we don't have the A. If so, I'd either go with Pikku (call the flop and "play poker" from there), or raise bigger (since I'd be committed on a club turn anyway).

If V2 is the dumb guy that is a calling station preflop to try to hit 2 pair, please shove the flop.

yes, you might get outdraw in the few times he has AcXc (or broadway clubs), but the amount of times he has K5 or A5 and a club comes on turn and kills your action would be disastrous.

This.

Raise to $165-185, and shove the turn.
There is only 1 hand in his range that beats you: 55. And he could certainly overvalue A5 and K5, and all of the club draws that might be there. And there are 12+ club draws that feel good about their hand.
You're way ahead of his range.

This. Against either player this hand is a cooler especially since someone could have axcc. Against calling station this is a clear shove. All K5 and a5 are clearly in his range and u don't want a card to come off to kill your action.

U still have 42% equity against a tight range of AK, 55, and aqcc, ajcc, a10cc. Only against a super tight range of ak, 55 (or tighter) can u fold in which case u have 36% equity. U have 70% equity against AK, 55, K5, A5, Axcc
