Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q

Hero raises to t600, 3 folds, MP3 calls t600, 3 folds, BB raises to t2115, Hero?

BB has been really aggressive and shoving alot cause he was really short. Now he's not that short anymore so I expected him to slow down a bit... No read on the flatcaller, but that's usually not a reason for concern in these. I could still fold here and be in ok shape...

Given your read I'd reshove to isolate. MP3 is calling like never, and you're getting like over 2:1 on the shove assuming MP3 folds. Pretty much regardless of BBs range shoving is very profitable here.

BB is still pretty short. Reshove to isolate, and almost never expect to be worse than coinflipping against MP3 for a sidepot that will be break even for you if you win, if he calls. The odds when you iso BB are excellent, and he only needs to be pushing AQ+, TT+ for isolating to be profitable (With an M of 7, I think it's more along (ATs, AJ+, KQ, 55+) which you are 47% against).

reshove to isolate since your reads have BB's range crushed with extra moneys in the pot. Plus you are in the spot where chipping up is prime.
