Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6148084, member: 397965"] With the 29BB stack of BTN, this situation is much more typical for tournaments than cash games, and as a tournament specialist I would never just flat the 3-bet with TT. That would invite CO to come along for the ride, and its going to be way to difficult to realise our equity out of position in a 3-way pot. On any board with overcards we pretty much have to give up, even though we might have the best hand. I am more than happy to get it in against BTN and gamble with him for his last 29 blinds, especially because people playing with such a short stack and using incorrect 3-bet sizing are almost always bad players, who will stack off to wide. Sure once in a blue moon he will flip over aces or kings, but in the long run you are crushing his range in this situation. Fish love to goof around with undersized 3-bets. He probably dont have junk, but he can have a smaller pair, a suited connector, or a broadway like KJ. As you say, things are a little awkward with CO in between, and there are basically two reasonable ways to approach your sizing. You can simply jam banking on the fact, that CO usually has a very capped range, when he only call the initial bet. And even if he has JJ or QQ, you might actually get him to fold. The other option, if you are really worried, that CO is slowplaying JJ+, is to go to a size, which commits you against BTN but allow you to get away, if CO comes in for a back-jam. Like maybe 40c or so. If you do that however, you need to make a plan already for, what you will do, if CO fold and BTN just call, and that plan should be to jam all flops. Personally I probably just jam. CO is also a broken stack, so he is also bad, and once in a while you might even get him to stack off with a hand worse than TT: If he makes the big hero call with a hand like AJo or KQo, you actually have 57% equity in the side pot, so its not quite a coinflip, even though tournament players often refer to it that way.
