This was a local $1/$2 game during a home football game weekend. I am in the #6 with the button, the table was loose passive except for seats #5 & #7 who were tight aggressive thinking opponents. Someone at the table has nicknamed the 3 of us the "bermuda triangle" because most of the money at the table is gravitating to us.
Preflop
Seat #2 opens for $7 with ~$190 remaining
Seat #5 smooth calls with ~$900-$950 remaining
I put #5 on a steal attempt and decided to make a large bet with AdAs hoping to get called by #2 and get #5 out of my way so I raise to $30 with ~$420 behind
Too my suprise #6 with ~$500-$525 behind smooth calls from the sb
#2 folds and #5 calls.
I wanted to isolate the bad player whom I have covered in this pot but instead I’m mixing it up with two tough big stacks. The pot is ~$100 and I am the shortstack giving us a 4.2 SPR. I feel this is a decent SPR and plan to commit with an overpair provided I don’t see a monotone or 3 straight flop (and I might still commit).
What range can I put the villians on? I had #5 on a wide range but his call of my reraise has clearly narrowed that range but to what? With my large reraise they have to be putting me on QQ-AA, AK or AQs
Flop
Ks Qd Qh
What is my equity vs. the range of my two villians? Both check and I decided to continue with my committment plan by making a pot sized bet. Good Idea? Basically I beat any K or underpair and lose to any Q.
My opponents should be able to put me on Kings Up, Aces Up, Trip Queens, Kings Full or Quad Queens since I made no attempt to disguise the strength of my hand preflop.
