So this hand i played yesterday, 3 bet is a bit on the loser side but calling oop inviting bb in too, my hand feels tricky and i'd rather try and get into a HU Spot with lower SPR or at least not be 4way - i guess just folding is fine too - anyhow calling i don't like here too much and prefer the squeez or fold - but not sure as usual so will leave a questionmark on this logic aswell ^^
HJ is not someone i have on my radar as a good player - more of a fishy type of situation, BTN is diffrent story, he is one of the more thinking players and able to make some plays that put you on the spot.

will post a 2nd part on this too - but want to take it step by step here - as squeezer vs 2 callers i think my range connects a bit less with this board and villains will give me some AAxx type of hand often, on the other side my hand is quite strong but not the nuts so already on the flop oop find myself wondering as we are deep(300bb) vs BTN. I find both a bet and check quite compelling leaning a bit more towards checking. anyhow thats the first 2 questions - part 2 is waiting ^^

I like 3bet versus open raiser but with caller I would just call preflop. Reason being we tend to have very little fe. Especially with fishy HJ as when he calls then BU will almost always overcall. Then we get into multiway bloated pot with hand that is not that greatly suited for it.

Flop I would just x-c likely.

Even with the straight flush re-draw?
Is this a x/c to trap, or is it because the flush draw is weak?

Well hero says that BU is on solid side. So issue is if we cbet and BU raises I would not be happy about it. I think we have to stack off if BU raises but what type of range is likely to do it with SPR 6? Q9 is the most obvious one. Then some combo draw type hands like sd+fd, set+support or top 2+fd. We are probably sort of ok spot even if getting allin on flop but its not like we are printing money versus solid stack off range.

So I would approach flop as having medium strong hand. Its also pretty nice hand to bet on blank turns big if flop goes checked. Other side of coin is that if we cbet and get called there are lot of turns we are not happy about. So do we necessarily want to build pot with that in mind?

yep exactly for these reasons went with the check aswell and then this happend ....

FLOP J♣ 8♦ T♣ [3 players, Pot = 0.92$ / 46bb]
HERO [SB] : Checks
Player 5 [HJ] : Bets 0.28$
Player 1 [BTN] : Raises 1.76$
HERO [SB] : .... ?

send me in the tank for my whole timebank and still don't know what is the way to go here. HJ with his 1/4 sizing kinda felt ok to ignore but BTN goin so big put fear into me.... ^^

Well its either shove or fold. I would still shove but not loving it. But if we compare this scenario into one where we cbet and BU raises I do like this more in a way. Reasoning being that from BU view he assumes hero to fold almost always and HJ bet is weak looking. If HJ bet big and BU raises I would probably lean toward fold then. Interesting hand.

Overall this situation goes back to preflop though. These are exactly kind of spots I want to avoid with not squeezing versus two preflop :)

ye had to wrestle with myself but glad to see i came to the same conclusion ^^ when he raises there i also think he has lots of incentive to do so with blockers etc and "absolute" nuts, like AcKQc9 should still be just calling to not get all weaker hands to fold. vs this small bet from HJ maybe a bit dicy assumption, but i think even if raising this hand would probably go at least for a smaller sizing quite often which would have made my decision basically harder.
Its not many ppl on plo2 that you can give this train of thought, but he actually maybe one of those, as the outcome shows aswell (i think he played the hand really well).

Player 5 [HJ] : Bets 0.28$
Player 1 [BTN] : Raises 1.76$
HERO [SB] : Raises 6.48$
Player 5 [HJ] : Folds
Player 1 [BTN] : Calls all-in 4.09$
HERO [SB] : Uncalled bet 0.63$
SHOWDOWN
HERO [SB] : Shows 9♣ 8♠ 7♣ 5♠
Player 1 [BTN] : Shows Q♠ Q♣ T♠ 8♣
TURN J♣ 8♦ T♣ K♥ [0 players, Pot = 12.90$ / 645bb]
RIVER J♣ 8♦ T♣ K♥ 6♦ [Pot = 12.90$ / 645bb]
HERO [SB] : Wins 12.81$
SUMMARY
SB : HERO | 45%
BTN : Player 1 | 55%
