SB: $5.87 (117.4 bb)
BB: $10.83 (216.6 bb)
UTG: $5.43 (108.6 bb)
MP: $13.26 (265.2 bb)
Hero (CO): $7.26 (145.2 bb)
BTN: $0.78 (15.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T♣: T♦:
UTG raises to $0.14, MP calls $0.14, Hero calls $0.14, 3 folds

It is interesting spot. Behind me sitting fish. MP is reg.
I was thinking about squeeze. All ways have positive and negative. If I call, I get a spot 4way - cause fish probably calls - but fish does not full stack to be good at setmining. But if I 3bet, I rather chose different hand for it. (If I had JJ, I would 3bet, it is stronger hand).

Flop: ($0.49) 9♦: 7♣: A♦: (3 players)
UTG bets $0.35, MP folds, Hero calls $0.35

Can I fold it? I am sure he has a Ax hand or a few of FD hands - he will continue the aggresion and I will have to fold it on turn.

Turn: ($1.19) 7♥: (2 players)
UTG bets $0.86, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

$1.19 pot ($0.05 rake)
Final Board: 9♦: 7♣: A♦: 7♥:
UTG mucked and won $1.14 ($0.65 net)
Hero mucked T♣: T♦: and lost (-$0.49 net)

I am a little bit torn and can't decided whether flat or squeeze would be better.
I think that UTG should be very honest on this structure being OOP in a 3-way. Furthermore you keep T♦: what decrease the amount of semi-bluffs he might cbet (like JT, QT, KT). The sizing is quite big - around 72%. Fold is probably too weak, but I fell like 99% that he has it and you will face 2nd barrel OTT.

So you mean, fold with our info.. yes, the sizing, it is 3way.. I think it is possible fold with it.

You should fold OTF, villain will not bluff enough in this spot. I would rather call he here 98s more than TT.

I don't know how to play SH, but without specific reads, I would've squeezed preflop.

Equilator gives 44% of equity for TT against a UTG+1 standard OR (22+,ATs+,KQs,AJo+,KQo) and a UTG+2 calling range (TT-22,AJs-ATs,KJs+,AJo,KQo).

So 3-bet pre and cbet of 2/3 of the pot OTF.
If villain doesn't check/raise you OTF, I'd sometimes bet/fold OTT, for a blank, sometimes check behind.

But, as I've said before, I don't know how to play shorthanded.

Defenitely 3bet preflop.

As played ur just set mining 3way. Knowing this it should be a fold. On some non suited Q/K high flops iam calling it OTF, but not Ace high.

I almost always 3bet squeeze in this situation.

As played: definitely a fold OTT.

Don't you chose for it different hands? with blokers and with A, to have EQ vs QQ and JJ

But in that cases its more like a bluff 3bet. With TT its a squeeze for value and to isolate one of them, because against two villains it gives u even harder decisions post flop.

It's no mistake at all to just overcall with TT. But the hand is strong enough for a value squeeze. With {99-} i mix it up in those situations (call/3bet).

It plays easier post flop being the aggressor and u get more information an villains hand. As played his range is wide.

I can’t see a weaker hand in UTG’s range that will fold preflop if we squeeze. We kick the weaker caller and isolate against a better hand. Just flat call, the odds are good enough for set mining.

The flop hits UTG’s range nearly perfect. The only hands that we can beat are Kx and 88-22 - which will of course also cbet. 99+ and Ax have us beat, and that should be the majority of his hands. I would just fold. Of course i would call as BTN vs. CO, but not vs. UTG.
