Hi. I want to know you opinion how to play my hand.

Lets start from Preflop action i decide to 3bet/call UTG raiser, because he was very active and AJo is ahead of his range. when I am decide to 3bet him I have very good price to call.

UTG range: 66+, ATs+, AJo+, KJs+, KQo, QJs 10%

Lets say we don't have any fold equity, vs this range we have 42 % We need 27%. Lets put his on tighter range.

vs 99+, AJs, AQo we still have 30%

Now there is third player which i Think he will have nutty range here always: JJ+, AK+

On this flop we have pot size bet and we have FD+ Over card. I this there no other option to just rip it. we have 41% Equity.

Board: Q♠7♠5♠
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    41.50%  40.90%   0.61% { AsJd }
MP3    58.50%  57.89%   0.61% { JJ+, AKs, AKo }

Lets put him on QQ+ range:

Board: Q♠7♠5♠
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    38.71%  38.71%   0.00% { AsJd }
MP3    61.29%  61.29%   0.00% { QQ+ }

We still have 39% equity. I think there is no other option to just bet ALL-IN on flop

Hey hey,

I'll give you my opinion about that hand. :f_thumbsup:

Prefop: Vs utg minr of small stack I would not always 3bet there, depending on his fold-to-3bet I would consider calling sometimes as well. He is definetely pretty active (on small sample of hands), but utg minr also looks fairly strong in first place.
But yes, 3bet+getting it in with him is fine.

The big stack cold calling your 3bet+ the 4bet-shov of small stack does not necessarily have to have nitty range imo, because he is big stack and you only have 21 hands on him, so I would not put too much into the stats on him.
But since you do not know that I like your 4betcall better than possible 5bet to iso small stack.

Postflop: Depending on your read on the player, I would rather check behind, since there is no sidepot and basically "nothing to gain" directly by shoving.
You could bet smallish (like 1/3 or 1/4) to see how big stack reacts to that. If you decided for yourself to go with that flop, you could still shov vs 3bet or call his shov there. Furthermore I assume a "nitty" player would bet 3spades flop for protection most of the time.

By betting small you could get 1010/99 or Ax with weaker flushdraw to call you to make a worse shov.

Honestly I would check behind there, since you have a very nice stack for the FT and no sidepot to make your shov really worth risking your whole stack of being called by a dominating hand or fold out weaker flushdraws which might call thin value on later streets.

To sum it up: I would prefer checking behind or betting small for value over just shoving there without a sidepot, especially when you put the big stack on a monster hand I would rather see free turncard then risking my stack against a hand, that I see ahead of mine.
