Hi guys

CO was calling really wide from late positions (around 30%) ; SB is a solid guy

That 3 bet putting 1/3 of his stack looks suspicious from this solid guy.

My first impulse is to shove but this looks like a trap and if i shove i offer him 1,5:1 to call so probably he calls lol.....am i just overthinking all this stuff? AJs is a powerful hand even vs a strong range...

3 folds, Hero raises to 2,800, MP3 folds, CO calls 2,800, BTN folds, SB raises to 10,800, Hero ???

I don’t think calling wide means that his 3! frequency is necessarily going to represent weaker holdings. This hand is probably at the bottom of your 3! calling range so I don’t hate calling or folding.

Pretty happy to ditch this - most players are not going to have a 3b/f range here and equally are not likely to do this with worse - also the weaker end of squeeze range may just shove.

I think folding and jamming are both fine. Definitely you can't call.

Yeah you're likely behind, and yeah he's probably not folding, but you have plenty of equity against his 3b range and you don't need 50% equity to jam given the extra juice already in there.

Not really. Not 28bb eff.
