Spoiler

486 pot
BTN mucked and won 486 (253 net)

Bu is 43/20/125 hands 0 fold to 3bet so far
On BB there is a re, so that is why i dislike flatting this hand too much - I invite either a squeeze or even if he calls I am in not to good a position 3 way OOP. Also i think i have
enough equity for value 3bet vs the fish.
Once he 4bets all in I think it is an easy fold - I give him something like 88-QQ ATs+ AJo+

If you think the reg will squeeze, you can then start flatting hands like AA/KK to invite him doing it. But we need to be sure he's gonna do that very often and I don't think that's the case. He has a loose fish on the blinds that has position on him and fish don't like to fold much. So I think he's squeezing range won't be that wide tbh.

But let's put this on a side. The fish makes quite a big raise, but I still think 3betting pre is not bad. If we flat, we inviting the reg to come join and playing our hand OOP 3-way pot is just a waste of equity. I am a bit concerned with the 4x from the fish, but it could be many worse Ax, some mid pairs that we can fold postflop, maybe KQ type of hand, maybe even some weird bluff.

So I 3bet with the idea of 3bet/folding.
