Messiah has been here for a couple orbits, 33/21 in 40 hands, nothing major. He had recently chased the nut FD by check calling flop and bluffing OOP on a whiffed river, nothing major.
Spazz is unknown short stack idiot
villain in this hand is deep with me at 150bbs or so. He is 23/7/4.5 over 100 hands.
thoughts
I was a bit swamped by tables and was timing out left and right. My plan was to put in a 4 bet to see where I'm at compared to the deep villain. I figured any further action preflop from anyone but the short stack and I'm almost always dominated or flipping
What I failed to do was consider the short stack's stack size which is a huge huge mistake since well, its important.
My question is, how should I proceed if
a.) original raiser shoves and action folds around
b.) original raiser shoves, deep stack folds, short stack calls (actually this is stupid, so much overlay and for not even 100bbs, I dont see myself folding QQ)
c.) original raiser folds, deep stack shoves
d.) original raiser folds, deep stack flats, short stack flats
e.) original raiser folds, deep stack flats, short stack shoves
Option E later became reality and I was forced to fold. I realize this is a huge huge mistake leaving the option for deep stack to reshove me if I call the small stacks shove. But yah, fucked up hand or I fucked it up harder, but I felt calling QQ for set odds is not an option here

Hm.. if original raiser goes allin you probably have to fold, same with the deepstacked dude. 2bet, 3bet and your 4bet is so ridiculously strong here. If he shoves he can have only 1 of 2 hands.
If shortstack shoves and the other guys folded it's an obvious call. |

this was actually what happened, I should probably edit original post
original raiser folds
deepstack times and calls
short stack shoves, I can call or shove
I'm uncertain if the 4 bet was a good idea preflop given how tight the deep stack's preflop raise is |

Shitty spot =[. I have no idea wether I would shove or fold here.. when he times and just calls I'm inclined to believe that he might have KK/AA here and wants to slowplay it. I think you gotta know the player better for that I guess. I think both are fine because you have massive overlay from the fish who probably has 99/TT here. |

Also, what do you think about the 4 bet amount? I wanted to 4 bet to an amount where I'm not committed against the 150bb stack basically. Is this too much/too little or fine?
Also, is there any merits for playing this for set value (and in all likelihood, 4 way pot?) |

I think you are missing the part where your post-flop actions are dictated by your pre-flop decisions. You should know exactly what to do once you see the flop before you shove 1/3 of your stack into the middle. Yes you can fold PF to a push, but on flop you are not going to have any additional information to allow you to fold an overpair. So decide now where you stand against his range. |

I don't like a 4bet here. You're essentially turning your hand into a bluff.
I can definitely see playing this for set value though. Though I'm not a big fan of it. I probably just fold. QQ is strong and all but I don't like playing my hands in such a way that I require things to go right unless I have reason to believe that things are actually going to go that way. I don't like having to sit there and pray that my opponents are about to do something stupid with TT or JJ. I want to know that before I make a play assuming that it's going to work out. Unless I have reason to believe that it's the case, I just find these plays end up going horribly wrong.
That being said, I like just folding. |

4betting here is soooooooooo bad against a 3bettor w/ 7 pfr. i flat here. it sucks but i think it is still profitable. folding is fine as well. |

This is what happened:
big stack time banks and calls, small stack shoves, I pitch for 60 more, big stack calls, AKX on flop, big stack shows AK for top two, small stack shows 88.
My thoughts was that the big stack is almost always on aces and kings considering the line I took, but obviously I was wrong and took the worse possible line for this situation. Just wanted some feed back  |
