Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6775771, member: 397965"] Preflop I would definitely not 3-bet (squeeze) given, that all the action is from early position, and you also have many players left to act behind you. Folding would be tight but reasonable. However in a live game you dont want to be percieved as a complete nit, so I like your decision to call. Facing the 3-bet and a call from UTG, I kind of want to fold however. Yes you are suited, but you are sandwiched in between two other players, and when you flop top pair, you are so often dominated by hands like AK, AQ or QQ-AA. But ok you call, and I guess, thats sort of fine as well. Flop Raising with a draw is only a good play, when we have fold equity. Here I think, its extremely unlikely, that UTG is going to donk lead for $50 and then fold for your last $125. He is not donking out into two opponents in a 3-bet pot with nothing, and whatever he has, he is almost always going to stack it off. For that reason I think, raising is really bad here. You hardly ever have the best hand right now, and in that situation you want the player behind to come along, because that gives you better pot odds. The worst possible outcome here is you jam, CO fold, and then UTG call. So the first option, I would rule out here, is raising. Calling is also a little marginal, because if you call, and CO fold, pot will be $185, and you will only have $125 behind. This mean, its very easy for you to face a turn jam, which you will not have the odds to call off. So you almost need to view this as a 1-card draw. Which mean, you need to win around $250, when you bink the turn. With the pot already being $185 after your call, and the chance CO also comes along, its probably good enough but only just. Now CO jam, UTG also jam, and this gives you a very easy call. You are drawing to the nuts, and there is literally no combination of hands, they can have, where you are not getting the odds to put in $125 to win a pot of $600 with two more cards to come. Table talk As for the opponents table talk, they were just bad losers. The one, who played the worst, was UTG with his AJ. He should not call the 3-bet, he should not donk out on the flop, and he should not call it off for his entire stack, when CO raise. CO played fine and had the best hand but got outdrawn. Thats part of the game, and he should just smile and reload. [/QUOTE]
