4 handed.
CO (Hero) - $1,000
BTN - $400
SB - $550
BB - $500

Preflop:
- Hero gets dealt AT in the CO and raises it to $12.50
- BTN calls $12.50
- SB 3bets to $52.50
- BB folds
- Hero calls (this could be bad, but figured I'm suited and squeeze play is likely enough)
- BTN calls

Flop: 3QQ (Pot $163)
- SB leads for a PSB of $163 leaving himself about $340 behind.
- Hero???


My instinct was to shove here. I have a strong draw, I block AQ, and there's a chance that SB is just spazzing out. I also probably get BTN to fold 44-99.

The problem is I'm having trouble constructing a raising range. I don't think I'd raise a Q on this flop with BTN yet to act behind. I'm 4betting JJ+ preflop so those aren't in my range. Raising TT seems way too loose (but that's a tough spot for sure).

Given that I can't find many value hands to raise with, does that mean shoving here is bad? Does it mean I need to be shoving some of my Qx here if I want to be shoving this hand? Shoving Qx just seems so bad with BTN behind me.

The other possibilities on this flop are to call or fold. Call seems bad giving the bet size, and folding seems a bit too weak. Maybe you could make an argument that calling here is ok since my range should have plenty of Qx and SB will shut down his bluffs on the turn. However I really don't want BTN sticking around or shoving over me with mid pairs.

I’d probably fold preflop to the raise and again on the flop. With that bet sizing, he is never folding, so you have a pure draw and at most 15 outs

pre is good, shove flop

Best advice I can give you is after calling preflop, quit poker or do some lab work not hard to figure this spot out.

It’s 4 handed so hand strength goes up a bit. Call flop. It is not a lead if he squeezes preflop it’s just a cbet. SB should probably check his whole range here.
