It’s been a while since i’ve posted but I ran into a really difficult hand and I want to get your opinion. There ate two questions I have listed after the hand history.
Hero: SB ~$560 with JJ
V1: UTG $600+ competent regular
V2: Cutoff $600+ thinking experiencedPre-flop: UTG raises to $15, player in middle position calls. V2 raises to $60, Hero calls, V1 calls and the middle position player folds.
Pot $195
Flop 862 rainbow: Hero checks, V1 checks, V2 bets $80. Hero calls, V1 raises to $200. V2 calls Hero folds.Both villains get it all in on a blank turn. Will reveal the hands after I get some responses.
Question 1: Is it possible to fold pre-flop? V1 should have a tight range but V2 could be trying to squeeze, the players at this casino have a fairly high fold to 3-bet percentage.
Question 2: How would you play the flop? Should I lead, or raise V2 or just make a fold to V2’s bet?
Well… clearly its an easy fold for you. Pre-flop, I have no issues with calling the 3-bet. You are likely facing overs. Once the flop hits, and the re-raise comes in from V1… I’d have to suspect he made top or middle set. If both are competent players, than you have to put V2 on Q’s or better. My guess is you Aces vs. Queens, or Aces vs. a set.
I don’t think you can fold pre-flop. It could be A-K, and you are essentially set mining. It would be hard to think your Jacks are good or will hold, but once you miss and betting escalates… well… I think you played it exactly as one should. Only way you could fold pre-flop if the guy was super tight.
