Stars 50 single rebuy add on. Newish table, no real reads. I had planned to CR flop and if better called i jam the turn. Now WTF do i do?

Is pre flop even okay here?

Who is MP2?

I often call this because you are getting such good odds at this point and because people do ridiculous stuff with sets like min 3betting to "trap" CO.

I think pf is marginal and I def. fold here... Is he doing this w/ KJ or QJ?

Fold PF, Fold flop.

PF call is REALLY bad, for numerous reasons.

Fold PF.

Your c/r should be bigger IMO, and you could probably even just cram. Once you get here I guess stick it in but I never get in this spot.

preflop seems fine, but it also looks like a good spot to squeeze.

on flop, im only checkraising if im planning to call a shove. its pointless to c/r then fold. much better to just call if ur not sure what ur gunna do

How deep do you guys need to be to like pre better? You're def calling suited yea?

Well i'm obv calling shove from the bettor, it's the 3 bet shove that seems worrying.

For me ---> At least 50BB, and they must be suited if it's a multiway pot.
