Is calling here a sort of stop and go? Because I can't imagine calling then check/folding the flop to the inevitable overs. If we call, we're pushing the flop, aren't we?

Wow I misread the hand bigtime and thought we were the small blind etc. Uuuuh depends on opponents, I think I lean towards a fold here though. Calling and shoving are pretty much the same here, if you call and lose you're getting 2nd anyway, same with the shove.

77 in a three way pot? Uh uh, nah. I think it's a fold.

If you could 100% rely on BTN to check it down unless he hits his hand hard you could maybe call.

Shove is also bad here, you have very little FE.

I probably need AK,JJ to shove here but that's maybe too tight?

I don't think this is a call at all, calling pretty much comitts you anyway. Push or fold.

I'd lean towards folding this, the outcome will then either give us 2nd or put everyone on even stacks. Depends on opponents though I'd be pretty close to pushing. The button could have been on the steal.

If biggie has been bullying at all I like a shove. We'll have a bit of FE and will be well ahead of his range when he calls.

i'd fold if blinds were smaller, but i guess waiting is not an option.


call and check it down if you can.
