Lots of dead money. What's the play? Lots of dead money. What's the play?

Villain 1 is a 50 yr old wg. Generally pretty tight and seems to always sit on a $100 stack. Prob wins $2/ hr.

Villain 2 is bluffy and a major calling station whale.

1/2 , 9 handed

Villain 1 limps utg ($230)
Villain 2 limps ($175)
Couple more limps
Button raises to $8 ($400)
Hero in sb raises to $30 with AK ($400)
4 calls including both villains

5 ways to the flop
373 ($150)

Hero checks
Villain 1 checks
Villain 2 bets $50
Folds to hero. Hero should....

Feel like villain 2 has like 25% gutshots/overs/flush draws, 45% overpairs, 20% pair of 7s, 10% trips.

Villain 1, having limp called the $30 pre, is a little concerning. This tight villain probably folds 88-JJ If I shove fwiw.

Threebet is probably a bit small given all the limpers and the fact that you're OOP.

You're ranging V2 at waaay too many overpairs, he limped in after a limper. I also feel like with a flush draw he probably just shoves. I'm ranging him pretty heavily to 7s and 3s.

I'd just fold, I don't mind shoving on like 732 but here we draw ~dead to any three, that's going to chew up a lot of equity.

hero RAISE,... OK? - You raise because you cannot call or fold. So you got to raise OTF
He doesn't have a 3 and any overpair except AA/KK will be in doubt to call now and probably a huge bet OTT.


You 3! kind small with AK and $400 effective. Make it like $40-$50 or even $60 so blow away some dudes. In this pot of 5way you are on average a little over 20% with AK. If you blow away 3 players you get to be 50% against a pair or you dominate anything else.

At the flop you got to bet into the paired board because the paired boards doesn't help much and puts villain in a defensive mode. If you bet twice into a paired board you break opponent way over 75%. They give up because they're afraid of losing.

So, make your 3! bigger to blow away the monkeys and be able to play your AK in position heads-up against the 2! dude that has to act first.

I'd probably call with all of my range that wants to continue. Board is dynamic, Vs most likely holding is 7x, 32 overcard a to a 7 (i.e. 68% chance TP changes), when it does, he will inevitably check, then I would steal the pot. If it's a diamond we have the 2NFD.

If the turn comes a 3/7/6-(not a diamond), I might give up

Fold. Villian 2 isn't folding whatever he has being short stacked and committing so much money to the pot + him being a calling station.

Hands over five ways without much stack behind.

C/F flop 5 ways. It's ok to surrender a whiffed AK. Sheesh.

Oh ****, I thought it was heads up. I probably shouldn't post at 6am...
