Really Weird Preflop Spot

These guys posted utg and utg+1 in a 5-handed game. They are obviously not worried about anything other than getting into action immediately. I cant imagine them folding pf.

Its also their first hand at the table. Usualy it will be a trickle down effect. If the BB calls it might be 5 ways. If the BB folds, it might be heads up. Playing in the lead in a 15 small bet pot before the flop is overated.

Very true. But having two opponents who play bad postflop put in 2 more SB's each PF with worse than limping hand-ranges seems pretty underrated.

Who is folding?

Even horrible loose idiots might fold for 2 more cold with trash hands. And if we get J3o to fold and the flop comes JT4, we have the best hand now.

Lots of good reasons to 3-bet this IMO.

I would speculate that 2 out of 3 random hands would be folded for 2 bets even by idiots. And I would much prefer playing this AT against 2 rather than 4.

By awful spot, do you mean because of position? If so, wouldn't 3-betting be more likely to get fewer players behind us?
