Hi guys, let´s see if you can help me with a couple of hands

1.- Hand 1

Already ITM. Villain is 18/4 (40% steal) in 100 hands

Ok, i suppose he is shoving wider. I Equilab vs a 45% and:

Equity Ganar Empate
MP2 52.92% 51.33% 1.59% { KdQh }
MP3 47.08% 45.48% 1.59% { 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q9s+, J8s+, T8s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, 65s, 54s, A2o+, K8o+, Q8o+, J8o+, T8o+, 98o }

If we call we are really craped..do we take the flip the same? Is this one of those spots where you risk to increase your stack trying to gt to the FT?

Jam the first one with KQo being near the bottom of our jamming range and fold the 2nd one.

Personally I pref to minraise on these stacks since we have to fold and we aren't even sure what to do here.

Jam. Fold.

I would definitely jam in Hand 1, since by calling you get yourself into a very difficult spot (and OOP!) postflop against BB in case he calls, and in a tough decision preflop if he shoves.

Hand 2 sounds like a fold to me but I am not really sure

Can you guys elaborate a little bit about 2º hand?

With this effective stack size shouldnt we call, wait for our TPTK and gii? I mean, with hands with potential TPTK flops and a resulting low SPR shouldnt we more prone to call a 3bet?

Hand 1 is a jam, dropping from 18 to 13bb won't make much difference but getting up to 25bb will give you more room to play.

Hand 2 is a fold, a 3b from a 20bb stack is super suspicious and you risk domination from QQ-AA.

Hand 1: Ship it.

Hand 2: Fold>shove>call, IMHO.

KQo is just too weak to call a 3b OOP here most times and it's pretty polarized at 7bb 3b.

Don't get married to these suit Broadway... they will do you a lot of harm.

Also for this stack depth you get the chips from shoving and 3b not calling.
