Hey Natrilis,

Imo hand is not strong enough to be cold 4betting for value here after UTG opens and MP 3bets. I would flat, take a flop multi-way and hope to either spike a queen, or flop and overpair and pot-control.

As played I think you should be checking flop. Decent chance you are beat + you are basically just bluffing by cbetting here. If you do decide to cbet your sizing should be a lot smaller in a multiway 4bet pot. Like $3 max.

Hey weasel

I think you may have misread the hand. UTG limps and MP iso's.

MP could be isolating pretty wide and BTN's range is pretty weak so i think squeezing here is fine (I don't know if it still counts as a squeeze?)

but on the flop i'm not sure about cbetting. I think your flop analysis still applies. I'd personally like to see a cbet but yeah it would be as a bluff which i don't like with QQ here so i'm less keen. not entirely sure though

Hey legand73,

Sorry, my bad, I read the hand as 10nl.

Squeezing preflop here is fine although we are not super excited about it if we get action from MP.

Flop comments mostly apply still, would check flop. If you did decide to bet you should reduce your sizing since pot is multi-way. Optimum sizing would be less than half-pot for sure imo, since you are effectively just protecting your hand.
