Ok, no reads at all, cause i was multitabling and HM turned off.

3betting pre might be an option, but i preferred flatting. I think the caller of the shove often has sth like 55-QQ.

i think it's standard, you think so too?

with their stacks I think you can just shove preflop?

MP1 has a really fishy stack size to be flatting with. You can be pretty sure he isnt flatting with AQ-AK type hands and most likely not flatting with 88-1010. IMO his range seems weighted towards big pairs if he is smart at all. I believe your range of 55-QQ and like KQ, KQs AJ+ is easily correct for bb in squeeze happy metagame. But i think mp1 is tighter. Its probably a call because of the side pot w/ bb where I think you are ahead of his range + all the dead $ in the main pot and the possibility that mp1 isnt very smart.

I think you're ahead/winning gbucks on the sidepot so this is closer than it looks, but if MP has any clue at all he has you crushed.

e: what lucsac said, except I like folding

I think you should have shoved preflop.

i shove initially instead of flatting.... MP1s flat is scary/sketchy as **** though but how can he not isolate once once the opener folds and theres that much in the pot and he has like 16 BBs left or w.e. if it were a known player id fold to the iso but not to an unknown in the million. if you want do a quick db check and if its a good looking DB fold, if hes a losing player or something similar then call

IMHO.....shoving pre would've been better. (I have a feeling it wouldn't have made a diff. in this hand)
FWIW....
If you were only up against the BB... easy call.
but Mp-1 throws a wrench into this.
I agree with lucsac's range for MP-1... 55-QQ.... ....leaning to the high end.
It just smells like a trap.

Played as it was, I go with Andanthar and Fold here.
