Seemingly trivial situation... but

Sandwiched guy isnt very good but not horrrid. I would never expect fgators to call a raise with worse than TT, although he may fourbet light, which would be a really marginal spot.
What do u do?

meh, i don't get tricky and i just play for set value. i can see good reasons for a 3bet squeeze.

Since Fgators is pretty straightforward post flop it's probably to just call here. When i get in marginal 3-bet or just call situations i think about a few things.

1. Does the original raiser play better preflop or postflop?
2. Is there a donkey in this hand that i will keep in by calling but lose him by raising?
3. Will this hand be easier to play in a big pot or a small one?

call with 40% of your hands here, reraise with the rest probably

wait so you think i should play every hand here?

no was kinda joking, but isnt the pfr known for being exploitable?

balance it up, prob call most of the time b/c you have position on 2 bad players, squeeze here on occasion as well.

FGators is extremely floatable btw.

i would raise here just about always and its not even close

Actually the trick is you never raise the flop with any of your good hands and u raise cbets and float everything else.

He is bad

I recognized his name from 2p2 when I first saw him, but after playing with him a little at stars, I realized he is really weak tight, and can't be more than a marginal winner at 1/2+

From my experience his style is not unique and is easy to figure out. Of course, that's the case with most $1/$2NL regulars on Pokerstars.
