      Ok hard to analyse this one since there isnt a pokerplayer out there who is experienced with multiway 3bettet pots i guess. please consider that the flop donk and myself are 144bb deep

      Anyway give me your thoughts i was thorn between raise/fold raise/call and even call to induce a bluffAI from the midstak behind me, if that ai would get shoved by the initial raiser i would fold, if the initial raiser folds id obviously call

      Hey

      I think we must raise here. It's a 4w pot and our equity in such a spot is greatly reduced when we hold just a TP. Imagine if BB holds 66, MP2 77, and BU 88. There are 6 outs out there to kill you. And that's because they all have 2 outers only.

      So protection is required here. BB seems like a pretty big fish and he'll have many worse aces in his rane, so I'm really not worried.

      If it's a r/f or r/cAI it really depends on how fishy BB is. Against a crazy aggressive fish, I'm going for it easily, because he's gonna be going with AJ,AT,A9...
      But against some fish, you're gonna be looking at a range of AK or better, against which we have super crappy equity. They'll be b/c'ing AJ and worse and then we can continue to vbet turn and river.

      I think that it's more often than not a r/f spot though, just because most fish will be b/c'ing their worse hands and not b/rAI. If he has a draw, he'll also be b/c'ing.

      But we must raise here always.

      Cheers
