SB: $933.29 (466.6 bb)
BB: $79 (39.5 bb)
MP: $299.94 (150 bb)
CO: $502.14 (251.1 bb)
Hero (BTN): $200 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with 7♥: 8♠: A♠: T♣:
MP folds, CO raises to $7, Hero raises to $24, SB calls $23, BB folds, CO raises to $98, Hero calls $74, SB calls $74

Flop: ($296) 7♠: 5♠: 3♦: (3 players)
SB checks, CO bets $293.25, Hero calls $102 and is all-in, SB folds

Turn: ($500) 9♣: (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($500) 6♠: (2 players, 1 is all-in)

CO Villain is new. 24/28, 40 hands only. Early indications are that he's tight.
SB is a whale 78/47, 35 hands.

1. Should we rather flat than 3b, to increase probability of SB coming along? Or do we want to be HU here?
2. Once whale cold flats our 3b and CO 4bs I assume we face AA nearly always. Now, let's assume we think SB will fold - should we also fold?
3. What if we think SB will come along fairly often (as in the actual hand) - perhaps 50-60% of the time, since he's 250bb deep with CO? Is it then a much easier flat of the 4b since the pot odds will become excellent and we'll have an easy decision postflop?

Thanks

I prefer flatting here with nut suit and good rundown. Especially if co is tight (which we don't really know) but even more so if one of the blinds is weak. There are a couple cases where I think 3betting is better: 1) if co is clearly opening way too loose >35% 2) blinds are big winners.

edit. wrt to the action facing 4bet... Ugh.

I guess you flop quite linearly with this hand but I think the top end of your equity graph plummets too fast to make calls profitable. I would fold facing the 4-bet regardless of what i thought the SB is likely to do but i don't know if that's optimal or not.

That's the graph vs AA. I think it should make a difference if we expect SB to come along for the ride decently often. It's going to juice the pot quite a bit. Say only 1/3 of the time (conservative?) we get an additional $74 in the pot - then we'll only need 30% equity otf.

Happy to be put str8.
