I pick up AA UTG and raise to 3 BB and because both the MP as well as the BB call, I end up in a multiway pot in the middle.
The flop doesn't look scary, but multiway I want to play very aggressively and make a pot-sized bet.
Both players call, and I am careful now. What can be the hand ranges? I don't have a big sample of their stats.
I am a favorite to pairs that didn't make a set and to broadways with a Jack. There might even be a QT or T8 kind of hand, but I think they're less likely for the MP.
The turn still seems harmless (only 77 or T8 improve), but in a multiway pot with two players who have interest in the pot, my AA have lost some value at the turn, so I decide not to blow up the pot and just try to check down to the river.
At the river a second 9, the BB leashes out with an All In. This is just 2/3 pot size, but there is still the MP behind me.
Do I push, or do I fold?
