Calling all newbs and veterans... good multiway situation or fold?

Ummmm, yeah. So, Nick. You're posting lots (but not too much, which is also good), and I admire your determination. However, if you are actually thinking about calling this even after all the work you've put in so far, it's quite probable that your misunderstanding of the way poker works is so fundamental that you should seriously consider taking up a new hobby.

Sincerly,

post not really called for wookie ?

If you hold speculative hands like Axs or a small pocket pair where the main strength is flush or set potential you want to see a flop cheaply. They don't flop a big hand or draw enough to make up for multiple bets preflop. If there was just one raise then the decision would be closer. Also you are out of position for the entire hand.

Nick, a better question would have been should you call in this spot if was simply raised instead of 3 bet

when its raised and reraised it is a clear fold and it is not even close. actually rather than talk about one specfic hand, if you asked what range of hands you'd call a raise with in spot and then asked what youu would play if it was raised and reraised (as per your example) then that would generate more discussion.

also when thinking about spots like this consider where the raise and reraise comes from.

oh and ask yourself, would you call if it wasnt sooted and then think about how much value being sooted actually adds.

finally, in that other thread you started you were given some great advice...I just want to reiterate that Session Reviews are a great way to learn especially to learn the fundamentals. If you dont know what session reviews are then just ask and/or search for Session Reviews and you should find an FAQ that answers most of the questions.
