UTG: $5.41 (108.2 bb)
Hero (MP): $2.02 (40.4 bb)
CO: $4.83 (96.6 bb)
BTN: $1.91 (38.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A Q
UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.17, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.45, BB folds, Hero calls $0.28

Flop: ($0.95) T 2 T (2 players)
SB bets $0.66, Hero raises to $1.57 and is all-in, SB calls $0.91

Turn: ($4.09) 2 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($4.09) 2 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

$4.09 pot ($0.27 rake)
Final Board: T 2 T 2 2
SB showed J J and won $3.82 ($1.80 net)
Hero mucked A Q and lost (-$2.02 net)

I know that my game looks stupid but it is a typical situation when playing MSS.
Preflop: should I fold, shove or call? I think it's hard to fold here consider that I'm IP. But calling is not the best move.
Flop: vs donk on a paired board I think it's weak to fold, but when call I have small chip left so I decide to shove.
Please advice me how to play this hand and similar hands better. Thanks a lot.

Hey Apollo540419,

Imo calling is not great here, SB is usually pretty strong when 3betting vs MP open + not great postflop playability given 40bb effective stacks, the SPR is so awkward.

So decision is between fold or jam. 40bb we can probably just about jam but any deeper and folding quickly becomes good simply because guys don't generally 3b bluff in this spot at 5nl.

Hey W34z3l

So do you 4b AQ+ without reads, NL5, SB 3B vs MP and 40bb deep?

Ty in advance
