hi,

pretty early in the mtt. No reads. I think squeezing is standard here. My problem here is that villain cold calls and then shoves. I think due to my blocker effects and the dead money I have to go with it.

iPoker - 60/120 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

SB: 21,844 (182 bb)
BB: 14,182 (118.2 bb)
UTG: 30,720 (256 bb)
UTG+1: 25,697 (214.1 bb)
MP: 15,148 (126.2 bb)
MP+1: 9,612 (80.1 bb)
CO: 7,374 (61.5 bb)
Hero (BTN): 9,058 (75.5 bb)

8 players post ante of 10, SB posts 60, BB posts 120

Pre Flop: (pot: 260) Hero has K A
fold, UTG+1 raises to 360, MP calls 360, MP+1 calls 360, CO calls 360, Hero raises to 2,520, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls 2,160, MP raises to 15,138, 2 folds, Hero folds, UTG+1 calls 12,618

Flop: (33,776, 2 players) 9 Q T

Turn: (33,776, 2 players) J

River: (33,776, 2 players) 6

Spoiler

Results: 33,776 pot (0 rake)
Final Board: 9 Q T J 6

UTG+1 shows 9 A: (One Pair, Nines)
(Pre 22%, Flop 2%, Turn 12%)

MP shows Q Q: (Three of a Kind, Queens)
(Pre 78%, Flop 98%, Turn 88%)

MP wins 33,776

Pretty tough spot really.
A 3-Way All-in with "only" AKo is a bit of a stretch.

Considering that the call/shove looks very strong I think that the fold is justified.

I have a saying for similar situations:

A good fold is a good fold no matter what comes later

OTOH there is:

You can't win if you fold :coolface:

now let's see what the experts have to say...

All the best,

Clear call. 6.5k to call for over 20k pot if UTG+1 folds. If not it will be 30k pot that you play on. Tough to not have equity especially as that call-4bet line is imo more often some sort of TT-QQ than KK+. But even if we run into KK its not that horrible with those pot odds.
