Spot to backraise or flat? Spot to backraise or flat?

Original opener is an 11/6 with a fold to 3bet of 100% over a decent sample. He's 12/12 for fold to 3bet

Min raiser is a 35/5 over a relatively small sample

Is this a spot to take a flop or just try to steal the dead money and get it in vs an oddstacker? Against most fish I'd get this in, but loose-passive fish waking up and min 3bet squeezing made me a bit unsure

flatting probably cant be bad, as you can expect mp1 to play fit or fold, and you have good relative position in that case

3bet looks fine though, 15/call on most flops

3bet pre, u have fish behind u out of position who are gonna call alot and ur not suited so AK doesnt play as well multiway

as played just fold, unless this guy is a drunken fish maniac the super tiny 3bet in position is almost always AA-KK.

the part that makes AK good for backraising/4betting vrs people is not just because of its equity when called, but also the fact that u have blockers and they can be bluffing there so u will get folds. vrs fish backraising or 4betting against a tight range is pointless because they are never ever folding to 4bet

Over $50 in pot on flop, and villain has less than $40 behind.

Villain is clearly poor, going by stack size, and the fact he flat-called 40% of his stack pre. Betting $15 will result in villain usually shoving, say, any pair or AK, whereas putting him all-in will often get him to fold the best (or same) hand.

So, put villain all-in on any flop (except maybe A/K flops to induce a bluff.)
