I think this is an interesting hand because we are often put in a very tough spot when villian donk shoves into us. This spot rarely comes up so we are usually lacking in information on what to do.

I think this is a very interesting hand because Hero knows he is often behind but he also knows that there is nothing he can call him with on the river. Villain seems reasonable and therefore his hand range is either weak aces or JJ-KK but since the river is a king and he allready holds a blocker the chance that he holds KK is very low. Hero represents either a 7 or a flush when the diamond hits the river and this is why shoving the river is super great and also why this hand is interesting because hero holds a decent made hand on the river but he knows that all better hands fold! The only thing Villain can beat is basically a pure bluff, which is very unlikely, therefore he has to fold

I think this is a tough spot for a SSS player because he needs to combine SSS starting chart + stats + odds very carefully. Normally on a raise and a reraise you should fold QQ, but i made some maths
UTG2 range : 88+, A8s+, KTs+, ATo+, KQo
MP3 range : TT+, ATs+, AQo+
CO : QQ

Case I) UTG-2 is very weak and he would fold, but MP3 certainly would call 1.1$ due to pot odds.
Hero thought that he will bring 1.95$ for obtaining a profit of 4,35$, that means that he needs at least 44% EV for a good all-in.
QQ vs MP3's range has an 56.835 % Equity Value, so i consider a good all-in for Hero.
Case II) If UTG-2 calls, considering pot odds Hero would bring 1.95$ in a 5.62$ pot, this means that he needs 34% EV for a good all-in.
Against these two ranges QQ has an EquityValue de 46.016%.
So, i consider that all-in is good on both situations

Final Pot: 10 BB.

Button was pretty much TAG.

First of all, according to the charts, preflop this is not a call because we generally don't overlimp with 1 limper, we can either fold it, or if we have good postflop skills, we can make an isolation raise. On the flop, you should definetely not bet here since you only have the idiot end gutshot + overcard, and that's just not good enough in a 5 way pot. But but the way you played it, after his raise on the turn, I would just call down. I think that the hands you beat (monster draws, flush draws and worse Ax) give you enough equity to make this call. Donkbet on the river is a bit of advanced line if I remember right so you could easily c/c without any hard feelings. It is a pretty tricky spot whatsoever because if you check, he will still bet if he has two pair or a better hand than you and he might even try to bluff you off the hand with a busted draw. If you donk, he will probably fold busted draws, call with two pair and raise with a better hand. All in all, I believe that c/c might actually be better here as I doubt that you'll lose any value if you do it and you'll pay off a better hand more if you donk.

In my opinion, this hand is very interesting. I always get in trouble with TT and I want to analyse this hand for myself and see what I would of done.

1) MP3 raises 3BB, since we don't have much informations about MP3, we can assume his hand ranges is any pockets pair to A7s+, K10s+,maybe even QJ+. We could assume that is raise is a steal but we never play that way(unless having previous information). The equilator would probably show us being ahead BUT we have exactly 32.22 BB left in our stack (before the blind), so I don't see the reason why you need to call his bet or reraise him to get in a troublesome pot. In my opinion, the person will get pot commited too fast thus making him go all in anyways. Putting your whole stack on TT is a risk no matter what. Even if MP3 has A-3x he can still hit.

2) The only reraise acceptable could be a PUSH where you would boost your folding equitiy. But then again, we would need more information about MP3 like his VPIP and PR to make such a play, we could be in a way behind situation(MP3 flips JJ or QQ), [MP3 could be a super tight player with 5/5 stats with a stack that big I would fold and wait for more information about the table.

Considering your M factor, if you follow by the book, I guess you should push all-in because you are in the yellow zone.....and it tells you to be super-agressive.

My first evaluation was kind of a fail and since we are allowed to pick 2, this one should be better :

0.1/0.2 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Analysis
I cant tell if I played this too aggressively or it was just unlucky.
I had MP1 pegged as an elephant (using Hellmuth's poker animals).
This makes me think I should have at the very least noticed his 3bet on the turn and taken heed.

Hello!

Unfortunately I have no idea what Hellmuth's elephant means, but you have provided the stats so we can act according to them. First of all, I'd like to point out that you should ALWAYS have at least 12BB (in your case $2.40) on the table so that you can extract maximum value from very good hands like quads and full houses. Second of all, I believe that according to SHC we never cold call the oponent's preflop raise, we either raise it or fold. In this case, it's a fairly easy fold (you 3-bet 99+ if the raiser is in MP1). If you raised the hand, you would at least be able to put him on a tighter range than 15% of the hands (his PFR = 77+, A9s+, KJs+, QJs+, AJo+, KQo+), according to his action (if he capped or called). The bet/3-bet on the flop is good, on the turn it gets complicated whatsoever. His stats show that he is more or less a TAG even though his actions are pretty weird (c/r flop with initiative, donk turn). So on the turn, you are beaten by JJ, AA and AJ, AA not being very likely because he would probably cap flop with it. If he is a thinking player (even though his c/r flop with initiative doesn't exactly indicate that, or maybe I just don't know the pros of that move...), he will donk turn to induce a raise so that he can 3-bet. This means his range on the turn is pretty much JJ, AJ and maybe AK, AQ, AT, A9, these hands being less likely whatsoever. But since You can't be sure that he's donking turn in order to induce a raise to be able to 3-bet, I would raise turn once and bet river, or if he 3-bets me simply calldown unless another 6 comes, then of course cap river. What we learn from this hand is that our preflop play is very important since it helps us determine tighter ranges and can have an effect on the result of the whole hand. As for the "unluckiness" part you can try putting the flop and the hole cards in an equilator and see how unlucky you were that that jack showed up on the turn, he basically had 4 outs to suck out on you so his equity should be about 34% I believe. I advise you to read the bronze and silver articles and print out the charts + play according to them, it will be worth your while as your winrate will increase :).

Well BTN stats are 8/0 in 95 hands he is a rly tight player. What should i do in this situations? What about the preflop call? Regards.

Even though this hand is a shove preflop, I like it because I want to stress out that pushing in with KK in lower limits against tight players is not always such a good idea despite what everyone says. This hand shows very well that sometimes it's just better to fold KK's against an open shove preflop.
