Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6146356, member: 397965"] Preflop You opened to almost 5BB, which is extremely large for an online game and might have influenced the way, the whole hand played out. If I am BTN and facing this bizarre oversized open, I might think, it looks very strong and decide to not 3-bet, because the blinds are getting a bad price to call already, and I want to pot control a little bit. When BB ships it in for his 17 bigs, things get very awkward, and at this point I might just ship it hoping, that BTN did not flat with QQ+. Alternatively you could just call, but playing this pot out of position with a third player all-in is going to be pretty awkward. Your small raise is probably not getting significantly more folds than a flat, so I dont really see that play doing much other than bloat the pot further and create a small side pot. To sum it up I would either just call or jam. Flop Since you min-bet by mistake (been there done that), we cant really analyse this street in a normal way. You might have induced the raise, and as you say, TX seems very unlikely to call twice pre. JJ need some protection from overcards, so I would also have shipped it and been done. Conclusion I think, the key point to this hand is the highly unusual preflop raise size. Staggered preflop betsizing might have been a thing a decade ago, when Blackrain79 wrote "Crushing the Microstakes", but its not a thing in 2021, not even at 5NL. So just raise to a normal size like 3BB with your entire range, that you want to play. With that being said CO vs. BTN this is a bit of a cooler, and on this runout you might have gone broke regardless. [/QUOTE]
