Hi guys , to be honest not very sure what´s the best line to take

Initial limper is 75/0 in 12 hands
The other two are unknown

So we :

1) Call
2) Raise around 15.000 (if other amount please explain)
3) Shove
4) Any other idea?

SB checks, MP1 bets 3,000 Hero ???

Just shove - you have a ton of equity against almost any holding and there's too much in the pot not to commit.

Yeah, your SPR is 2 and with a shove you'll either isolate the fish or build a massive multiway pot with outs to the nuts.

As a general rule when you end up with an SPR that low you should be looking to get your chips in when you flop pretty much anything.

Yeah , HU I have that idea clear in my head , but MW I wasn't sure

Also stack size looked to me a little awkward. Shoving was my favorite idea too as I want to realize my equity in full but shoving 38 BB seemed a little crazy to me

Thanks for your thoughts , always learning new stuff in this forum

I prefer checking.

If button bets then it goes fold-fold or call-fold etc you have an easy jam. If it goes bet-raise-jam then you can consider folding.

Basically I don't think you lose much if it checks through, checking lets you gain more information, xjam over a bet will give you better odds than ripping, you're never ripping he nuts, it's a bad flop for your range and I don't you are necessarily committed.

MP bet into him so he has to either call or raise. Calling seems to weak, and raising all in I agree it's unlikely he would do that with the nut flush already, so a raise to 15000 or so might make more sense, but you would do it with the intention of calling a shove. I personally would probably rip it all in too because even with a vulnerable hand like 2 pair it would make sense to shove too since a ton of bad cards can come on the turn.

Ok sorry I missed the bet.

Yes calling exposes hero to a squeeze behind because he's rarely flatting with a good hand here but the price is almost too good to miss. I'd flat with the intention of 3bet jamming over a raise or if the donk bettor & co want to draw to their Q high flushes with a series of mini bets so be it.

Raising to 15,000 is fine if we are unlikely to get 3bet jammed on which would put us to a ~0EV spot. We really want to be the one doing the jamming with a draw rather than calling off, I would just prefer better odds/more money in the pot first.

After we call the little donk we have just under 1.5 x pot behind - pot seems plenty big enough to me.

The trouble with raising small is what happens when we are called and the turn is a blank? We can easily get pushed off our equity.

If we flat we're getting x/r pretty light from sb given co's sizing. It's a hand we don't mind getting called but definitely rather not take it to showdown so jam

"your SPR is 2" what does SPR mean?


also, what does x/r mean?


Edit: SPR = Stack to Pot Ratio

Check/raise
