Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6532511, member: 397965"] Preflop Opening is fine but I would fold to the 3-bet. You are opening UTG and getting 3-bet by the player next to act. This is waaaay stronger than, if you opened on CO and got 3-bet by BTN, so you dont need to defend nearly as wide. You are also not deep enough to setmine here, so 77 is a really bad hand to call a 3-bet with out of position. Also note, that the fact, two players have cold called the 3-bet, mean, you should be folding more and not less. Its a big misconception, that we should defend wider in multiway pots, weather its defending our blinds or defending to a 3-bet. Yes we are getting better pot odds, but we also have less equity against multible opponents, and when we are out of position, they have all the advantages not us. Finally cold calling a 3-bet is an extremely strong play, and usually we should be putting the opponents on a very narrow range like maybe TT+, AK, AQs. And of course 77 is crushed by such ranges. There is even a big risk of getting oversetted multiway, when we finally do hit a set. Obviously both these guys were calling way to wide, but you likely did not have any way to know this in advance. Flop Standard check. Turn I understand, why you jammed, when everyone checks and show weakness. But thats exactly why, its sooo important to just fold pre. It protects you from getting into a sticky spot like this, where you can potentially make some very expensive mistakes. Results Obviously a completely crazy hand, where the guy cold calling a 3-bet OOP with 54 offsuit makes a straight and scoops a massive pot from someone cold calling with AT and then overplaying their top pair. Its the kind of hand, which fuel "rigged" theories for sure. If I did not know any better, I would think, this was a freeroll or at least a micro stakes game. The fact, this can also happen in a $109 MTT show, that poker is far from dead :) [/QUOTE]
