Now what? I mean, my instinct is that if you make that kind of raise, get called and then r/r, you can't be good. But the r/r-er is such a donk here. I'm on his immediate left: should I just fold and wait? Or, is this my chance to go through him and should I shove?

With those stats, I think I'm calling the AI here.

I think this is an easy call if you have 100BB. As deep as you are, i still think this is call.

DonkVillain is loose and aggro. You crush his range (which i would say is mostly Ax and the occasional random 2) If he was 75/0/0.2, i might be worried that he has a 2.

Othervillain's line is strange. What is he calling a raise and re-raise with? AJ+ or a flush draw? i don't think a 2 is in his range. You crush his range too so call.

Donkvillan limp/called PF (before your raise) &amp; is 75/25/3.5?

Over how many hands? Because...think abt it..if you're 75 PF &amp; raise 25% of the time, what kind of junk do you limp with?

I call this push all day. (And mentally berate myself if he hits the baby flush w/ hit "sooted" card or has a deuce.)

I think it is a call. I think as soon as you made that big raise you committed yourself to the hand. The only hand that he could have that you are worried about is AA or 22 other than that you are fine.

This is interesting. A very trusted friend called me all sorts of equine names for this play, insisting that when someone r/r/r a big r/r, TPTK no g00t. The larger issue here is what do large r/r's do to our estimated range for villains? Like, does he really do that with 2 random spades?

If that is what your friend told you then you can't trust his advice anymore.

I am being serious(and coy).

Do you see why?

Nope, you're also worried about A2, K2, Q2 J2 etc. As loose as loose as these two are, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see one turn over a 2.

3.5 is SUPER aggressive for someone with a 70+vpip. I call, and am pretty happy about it tbh.

Heh, not sure what sorta drugs I was on when I offered up my range. You are right that other 2's are in there.
