Turn decision 3 handed
 

Playing 3 handed poker for a few hands. Vilan is 20/15 over 300 hands. He is on a few of my tables and the only hand we had a big confrontation in, he stacked me when I called a reraise preflop with 77 (I had my reasons) and pushed a low flop. He called with AA and stacked me. In this hand I had no idea what the correct turn line was. Bet small/ fold getting great odds, check behind, or push. Also if anyone thinks I should play the flop differently let me know. Sorry if this should be in midstakes but its getting really crowded down there.

what's the turn card

People tend to have very small reraising ranges in the BB in spots like these. Even three handed I probably fold preflop.

No. This is not a squeeze situation. When a BB reraises here he usually has the goods, since, 1) he is OOP 2) there is not much money in the pot vs his reraise amount (risking 110 to win 50). Good players tend not to reraise OOP, with stacks this shallow without TT+ AK+.

What were your reasons for calling preflop? Also pushing a low flop with a small PP is horrible. I would rather push KQ than 77.

he has odds to call for set value preflop....

Its close and I think BB has just wide engouh range where callling preflop and playing just for set value is not profitable.

Re: Turn decision 3 handed
 

What do you call with if not 99? Are you raising the button with 40% of your hands and folding when the big blind reraises 7/8 times as a default?

Re: Turn decision 3 handed
 

aba your kidding right? i repop with a much wider range from the bb vs a button steal. in fact lately i have been doing more and more of it and less and less calling.

you play 50-100 SH usually right? and you think people repop with only AA/KK in this spot? gimme a break!
