    Very early, no stats. What do you do here?

    saw flop|saw showdown

    Hero ($4420)
    UTG ($3120)
    UTG+1 ($840)
    MP1 ($1880)
    MP2 ($1880)
    MP3 ($2000)
    CO ($1960)
    Button ($1940)

    UTG calls $40, UTG+1 calls $40, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 raises to $120, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls $80, UTG folds, UTG+1 raises $800 (All-In), MP3 calls $720, Hero...?

    Easy fold for me. MP3 just called the AI rather than reraise to isolate UTG+1. They know you are still to act. I would have to put them on a premium pair...AA/KK maybe QQ.
    It's not how many pots you win, it's what's in them that counts.

    Oh yeah, easy fold for me too with MP3's cold call. If MP3 hadn't called, I would have instacalled this (how UTG+1 lost 60% of his stack on level 1 would be relevant information though).

    Without a read that MP3 is an idiot I think this has to be folded.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    MP3 showed AKo which suprised me on this one. I guess his range is QQ+, AK definately weighted towards QQ+ a lot of the time so I have to fold however wide UTG+1 is (A9s btw). I thought I might have been facing a smaller pair and at a much lower buy-in I maybe could shoved over with some reads, but not here.

    I said I have to fold, not that I did For some reason I thought that he'd be shoving with QQ+ and that smaller pairs were a big part of his range, but you guys are right obv and it should have been a fold.

    Hehe fair enough. I have to admit this is one of those spots where I know what I should do, but have to pretty much sit on my hands and let it timeout or I'll make the call.
