BB = 20/10 reg
BN = 40/2 retard

Calls. Seriously the button is a retard. I'll take my chances against the big blind unless he plays really nitty. Its a good flop to cbet, so his range should still be rather big.

Bleh, I dunno, that's a big bet, but I could see a reraise since we are out of position and there is dead money in the pot.

OP - why did you elect to just call? Mixing it up? A solid read on someone as tight or nitty?

LOL at your title by the way.

choptown would be a good result for you here, i think.

1) you raise from SB = stronger than normal.
2) he reraises your stronger than normal raise, so his hand is stronger than normal. (Also, 20/10 is a little more passive than most regulars.)
3) he comes out firing hard at this flop, 3-ways. Sounds like valuetown to me.
4) yea button is a fish, but he did go all-in. presumably he has something he likes. (this is a weaker factor than the others, but still worth considering. his money isnt necessarily just dead.)

I don't think a shove here is particularly +EV. Maybe its not too -EV either, but ehh...

only factor swaying it towards a shove is the 3-way fatty pot action. tough spot.

he might fold AK if you shove... I mean, he shouldn't, but he might. If you just call, it's more likely to go to showdown vs AK... I think he folds KQ whether you call or raise (but calls if you fold).

Folding looks bad here since you have no reason to believe that either player is necessarily strong, which is unusual for a pot this size, so play it to the bitter end.

[Isura]

There is dead money in there and who knows he may fold QQ and probably AK. SO yeah, I like a push.

Interesting responses, I think I made a horrible fold in this hand. fwiw I hadn't seen BN push anything before this hand so I had no idea how strong he was, me and BB ended up folding.
