Comment:

Preflop:

When MP2 raises 3.5BB, I think that he could have almost anything, since he is playing shortstacked, and therefore is likely to be a recreational player.

Now, when MP3 3-bet reraises, seeing that he is fully stacked, I think he can have something like AQ, AK, AA, KK, QQ, JJ. Of those, we only beat AQo reliably, and thus I think we must fold.

However, I would like a second opinion on whether the fold is correct or not.

3bet size is very small. They are both very weak players. We could have the best hand here and we are in position. If we call it would be very likely multiway otf so 4bet or fold imo. Folding is always fine preflop if we don't feel comfortable playing post flop.

I like call IP vs such a small 3bet with suited AQ I only little worried about MP2 who can shove with his stack but it´s not so often on micros. But if you are not comfortable about it or believe that MP3 has realy strong range here feel free to fold. It´s better than make big mistake postflop. Especially if you don´t have too much experience with postflop play fold is probably fine - when I remember my NL2 play I would recommended to fold myself too :f_biggrin:

I like folding when in sandwich between the raisers. Our hand cannot stand vs a shove.

Calling should not be an option as the initial raiser still to act is shortstacker.

at 2nl i think we are facing two uncapped potentially nitty ranges - better spots to make our money

Can consider calling or 4bet bluffing which looks insanely strong with some reads of looser players but meh here there are better spots

4 bet bluffing with the shortstacker behind is not ok.

missed the stacks - so yeah if you do 4bet may have to call it off vs the shorty and fold vs the big stack... or just fold pre

As we do not know the intentions of the shortstacker behind us, I prefer the safer folding.
