If I was getting involved in this hand at the point were you called I would have just shoved it in. I suppose it depends on the two villains ranges and how active they have been previously tho. If they are both fishy then a shove when it comes to you is probably the right play. You then leave the hard decision in the hands of the villain. Your shove suggests real strength and realistically he can only continue with AA/KK.

On the flip side if the two villains are tight players you have a totally different situation. The initial raise from MP2 is below the optimal 4 BB raise, this could suggest he's trying to trap with a monster. Then the CO's 3Bet suggests QQ+, possibly JJ. You're definitely not wrong with just a call here but as soon as he pushes all-in I'm probably folding here. He's showing a hell of a lot of strength for my liking.

Definitely a hard spot here. Overall I think I would fold to his shove and assume I'm dominated by AA/KK.

I think that shove isn´t good, like golakind said. You're too deep, and you don't wanna overplay your hand on early stages. Is a tought spot for me too... I think you're ahead of HJ raiser, then the re raiser, seems to be a fish, because a reg would never 3bet like that. Only a min 3bet don't make sense for a reg. Sometimes, that min 3bet from a fish is a monster (KK+), but in ths situation you have 2 blockers, less chance to villian hold aces or kings. Knowing this, I think, I would flap pre and just continue on flop if hit something.

Readless i would fold pre on this limit i suppose you have enough edge to avoid flips early.
As played you have to call getting 1.4 to 1.

Hi all,

Just fold preflop to the raise and reraise. If you think they're spazzy, you should shove not coldcall here.
