3way 200bb eff sqzed pot.

[PlsTilt]

A hand I played today and felt very troubled about.

UTG in the hand is the table fish, he's overcalling A3o and playing way too many hands, sticking around in huge pots with poor hands.

CO is a very good winning player, used to deep poker and generally plays higher limits. He's aggressive and we have a bit of history (He's the same player that stacked me in the 250bb deep hand I posted here last week (AJ v A6s @ 4to a straight board).

At this point in the session I feel a cold 4bet looks very strong I haven't targeted his iso's yet, plus I would love to see UTG enter the pot.

What's the best turn play?
I think UTG can have a wide range (stuff like TJo, QxJh, Ax Th, small made flushes )
CO has a strong range I am quite sure he has my AA beat.. I think with the Kh,Qh, Ah already out he most likely has a set or top2.

Flatting turns my hand face up and CO will probably jam all blank turns. UTG is still to act (he might overcall junk) it's a very important factor, he might jam, in which case I expect CO to call and I will get priced in. He might overcall.. in which case I get fairly good odds to the turn.

Regarding stacks, position and the table dynamic, what do you think?

I'd 4bet pre unless you're a supernit because people won't give that much credit when you cold4bet isoreraises (at least not on euro-sites) etc but whatever. It's probably semi-close depending on how the fish plays vs 4bets.

As played I shove because your hand will look like a draw, it's a shitton of money in the pot and you've got a ton of equity vs everything. As played I feel you'll make him play fairly perfect but I guess it worked out for you. Co is really pot commited on the flop anyway and he'll never fold whatever crap he raise the flop with and unless you're supernitty since you're mostly repping the A-draw. I don't see what worse he'll call with but people always manage to show up with weird crap. What did he have? KK or QQ? Straight flush? ^^

fwiw this is at fulltilt.. don't know why the converter says it's party. I'll edit it.

True about the perceived image I am far from a supernit, but my 3bet looks pretty polarized, I'd overcall this with a rather wide range to play a deep 3way pot with super donk.


Shoving flop seems total spew.. I'd rather fold. CO is rarely at anything worse than top2 IMO. He has 2 players to act behind him. I've got the Ah to block nut draws and donk is not gonna pot-fold this very often.
I do have equity yes, but the dead money in the pot is 250$ while I'll be putting in about 750 more.

CO might play perfect, but he'll be very committed on the turn with stuff like flushes, top2, sets if the 4th heart roles of.. plus UTG is still to act behind me.

For me the biggest fear is what to do when the 3 pairs up giving me top 2.. or an A roles off ..I'll stack.
