3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $0.35</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises to $0.6</font>, Hero calls, Button calls.

<font color="blue"> Obviously I 3-bet if SB folds, but at this level a common min 3 bet means a big hand. The time runs down, but I decide that I probably play postflop better than SB and button probably has a marginal holding. I figure a 4-bet folds out most hands I beat from SB, so I just call and accept the risk that button is getting odds to fit or fold. </font>

<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $1.8</font>, Hero calls, Button folds.

<font color="blue"> SB leads fullpot, which probably means he's hoping to take it down now. I doubt FD is in his range. I decide that I'm probably good enough here to commit, unless button does something unexpected. I decide to call instead of shove because the result is the same if he has AA, but maybe he can fire another bet with a second best hand on the turn. </font>

<font color="blue"> Turn is a blank. He pushes, given my earlier decisions and plan this seems an easy call. Especially if he considered the time it took to make my decisions as weakness. </font>

Obviously the only two hands I worry about is AA/KK, which both fit into a min-3bet range. Since villain is unknown, I don't have any idea of his 3-bet or blind defense tendencies, so I don't know how much wider his range gets. Given this, do you guys still commit here? Any thoughts on the decisions to not repop PF or shove on flop? After I call on flop, what's the play if button shoves?

Thanks for all input.

I´d probably shove for value pf. People with less than a full stack usually don´t mini-3bet and then fold. Obv it is how every donk on the planet plays KK/AA, but they also 3bet Q5o.

As played, I´d just shove the flop. Villain seems to like his hand. He might slow down if a third spade falls and he doesn´t have a spade.
