Protect or not protect?, I don't have EQ to do a valueraise, but if I just call I don't know where I am. Raise/FOLD would be the best?

Besides, a raise it is well balanced

Hi Confeti,

a raise makes only sense if you can continue profitable against BB. You don't have to be a favorite but you shouldn't be in a too bad shape as well.
If you are far behind you only isolate yourself against the better hand.

If I give him a PS.com 3-bet range against a MP2 open (ignoring MP3's coldcall) you get the following:

Board: Kd 5c 3d
Dead:

Equity Gewonnen UnentschiedenVerloren Hand
Spieler 1: 29.247 % 29.247 % 0.000 % 70.753 % 7s7h
Spieler 2: 70.753 % 70.753 % 0.000 % 29.247 % TT+, AJs+, AQo+

29% is not enough if it would be HU to continue as you need 30% (well it may be ok as you are in position).

Board: Kd 5c 3d
Dead:

Equity Gewonnen UnentschiedenVerloren Hand
Spieler 1: 17.732 % 17.660 % 0.145 % 82.196 % 7s7h
Spieler 2: 31.579 % 30.780 % 1.598 % 67.623 % 22+, A2s+, K8s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T8s+, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, ATo+, KJo+
Spieler 3: 50.689 % 49.963 % 1.453 % 48.584 % TT+, AJs+, AQo+

If we add MP3 it's even worse (not sure if his range is well chosen).

So if you want to continue then a raise would be much better as you gain equity if he is folding.

Hmm it's close. If BB would have a wider range I think I raise as you have an overpair to 2 board cards but here I like a fold slightly more.

i'll never call here i'll raise or fold

fold is better imo couse ur not last to act and there is flush draw on board and u dont have 7 :diamond: and if 7 :diamond: came on turn it can be very ugly for u and that MP3 guy stats looks to me like he is going to became any 2cards pasiv caling station


Yes that's true and I see it as you do but I haven't written anything about a call anyway just about fold or raise. ;)
