Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7193514, member: 397965"] Preflop I think, your 3-bet is far to small. Standard in position is 3X, but that is against normal sizing, and this guy only min-raised. Which in a microstakes games I will enterpret as weak without any other reads. By going small you give him great implied odds to setmine, and you also increase the risk of some goofball behind cold calling your 3-bet, as actually happened. So I would make this not just a little bigger but at a minimum 8BB. Let them pay to see a flop, when you have a premium hand. Flop The issue here is, that because of your preflop sizing, both opponents can have all the sets, and the Stack to Pot ratio is 7 against UTG, which is a bit deep to stack off an overpair, especially one thats not the nut overpair. Perhaps we can assume, that both opponents would have 4-bet AA or KK, but they can have QQ in their ranges, so thats another hand, you lose to. So I am not nessesarely willing to play for stacks here against UTG, and for that reason I would just call. Your hand does benefit from protection, but with this action its highly unlikly either opponent has AK/AQ/KQ, which are the main hands, you want to fold out. Turn If UTG had folded, then this would be a snap call. BB started with a broken stack, and he cold called a 3-bet out of position, so he is just some random 2NL fish and could have almost anything including the favourite fish hand A8. However its troublesome, that UTG has also stacked off, because if he is any type of player, he should not be doing this with 99 or TT. Now maybe he is, because this is 2NL, and even the regs are bad. But at 10NL this would definitely be a good fold, and even at 2NL its an ok fold. I would not fold QQ+ though, because the higher your pair, the higher the chance, that UTG also has an overpair, and that its worse than yours. [/QUOTE]
