I hope this is the first post of many to come. Lately I have been putting a decent amount of volume on ACR 10nl Blitz. I plan to post one interesting hand from my ordeals everyday.

Yatahay Network - $0.10 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 165.4 BB
Hero (SB): 139.1 BB
BB: 103.5 BB
UTG: 120.5 BB
MP: 368.9 BB
CO: 146 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 7

fold, MP raises to 2.5 BB, fold, BTN calls 2.5 BB, Hero calls 2 BB, fold

Flop: (8.5 BB, 3 players) 5

Hero checks, MP bets 4.7 BB, BTN calls 4.7 BB, Hero raises to 27.3 BB, fold, BTN raises to 162.9 BB and is all-in, Hero ???

Easy call for me as well. I will make this call 11/10. I am just wondering what other people might do in this spot.

I would also like to discuss what does the BTN's range look like here.

Yeah always getting in.

I imagine that Btn has a lot of AsX and sets here. Sometimes they will have you crushed.

Dont like pre if BB is competent.

Your raise is pure spew

Flop is player dependant but I could see a fold here being justified, if you don't see him pushing sets (which most people don't) then it's probably a fold

Asx is not really much of a thing here since AQo usually 3bets pre and is unlikely to play post like this, so it all comes down to sets.

It's not really an important spot though since you should never end up on that line with a weak flush

Yes, I agree preflop this play is very prone to a squeeze from BB. In this spot the BB was an unknown guy so I wasn't too afraid of a squeeze.

But will the player pool be shoving AsJh type of hands on this board at a high frequency facing this action?

Oh just realised were 140bb deep.

Ok this becomes way closer to a fold.

ran a sim, though some hands are not raises, had to discount mp.

Ranges for BU (if they are playing gto) SHOULD be: KsQs, AsJs, AsTs, As4s, AsQd, AsQh, AsQc

Other spade combos would be a call, along with sets.

a heads up sim is irrelevant here

I agree AQo 3bets and is not playing this way on the flop. I believe a lot of players would push their sets in this spot, at least I would have. I put him on a range of 33, 55, 66 (total of 18 combos) and some higher flushes(hands like J9ss, JTss, KJss, KQss, A4ss, A2ss etc). Against such a range I think a call is justified with the redraw to a straight flush.

I was going from the first post, had not read the responses. He asked for range on BU to go all in.

This is actually a multi way pot, and AQo is not always a squeeze. I used ranges from 3 way action.

Edit to add: 87s is a fold multi way pre, in my ranges, call maybe from BB.

the 2 outter adds some equity but if he only pushes nut flushes it's still not enough, I think saying villain pushes every set every time is wishful thinking but if you have a read like that, then you can probably call

It was very interesting to note that this is way closer to a fold than I thought at the time.

In my ranges, it is low frequency 3bet, KJs much higher (though I don't usually do).

When combining, creating our ranges in position to call, 3bet rfi, we want a balance of equity in our calling and raising ranges. So what you might think should be 3bet is not. In my range, AQo vs HJ is less than 50% 3bet. This may surprise you, but we are mixing our ranges so that both calling and raising have positive ev and equity to match HJ. We need stronger ranges (even if he is fish opening with 24o).

I purchased, then input into solvers (I have two).

I also play psuedo GTO, a more simplified strategy. I was incorrect above about KJs, I do 3bet from BU, just haven't had it enough.
