This one has me a little boggled. I think it's a pretty straightforward fold, but my friend says he calls because high pocket pairs aren't shoving this flop, which means he probably has a couple of overcards (assuming his blind reraising range facing an UTG raise/SB call is QQ-AA, AQ+). This makes a lot of sense to me, but I'd like to hear your opinions as well. Comments on preflop action (call or fold) are welcome, but try to focus on the flop and help me define BB's range on the flop a little bit better. Thanks in advance for your input!

Easiest pf fold ever. A 17/7 is 3-betting a raiser and 2 callers to $5. You are crushed here. You are putting in 20% of your stack when your only hope is to flop a set (7.5-1). Even if you knew you could stack villain 100% of the time when you hit your set, you lose money with the pf call.

After you and SB both made terrible calls, he still pushes. He has AA here and knows the only way you could've possibly called such a large 3-bet is if you had QQ or KK. The pot is big enough that he feels he can get a call from you by pushing. Just tell yourself to never make this call again and insta-fold.

That is a fold. His pf raise and flop action are textbook QQ+

Dump this pf after the 3bet from villain. Villain isnt 3 betting a whole lot of hands that you beat and you will have bad position postflop. You cant even play to flop set here cause villian only has 23.30 left and you have no implied odds having to call 4. Taking this into consideration you will not be faced with flop decision you dont want to make. As played I fold flop.
