    Default $5 40man, FT: retarded 3-way action with TPGK

    PFR was pretty bad, I had him on my right for a long time and his betsizing tells were obvious: minraise with weak hands and 4x pre with strong hands and I felt I could profitably play him IP (shove pre?). No real reads on BTN.

    This is the kind of spot that you only see in low BI tournaments, you end up multiway with ridiculous SPRs. Obviously neither opps should be doing this with any hand they have. sometimes I'll be crushed by one but I feel like I have at minimum 30% equity 3- ways here.

    Folding seems really weak but reasonable; calling seems terrible because half the turn cards are horrible. BTN seems bad enough that we might have some FE or he could call with worse hands (QT/A9); so I think shoving is really the only play, especially since winning this pot means I can run the table over.

    Thoughts on flop bet? Probably too small; I actually think shoving the flop might be the best play although that takes away the chance of them spazzing with worse hands and draws.

    I think given the description, shove preflop would be best. The only stack that can really hurt us is the button, but he'll fold such a high % of the time that I'd be fine with a shove.

    As played, pretty gross spot. Even if we're somehow ahead against like QT and 98 we're not in that great of shape. I'd probably just fold.

    Half pot on the flop is probably fine, with this action it's still small enough that we aren't committed to the pot. If we had 3/4 potted it and the action went the same, then maybe we'd be forced to commit.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    I'd shove or fold pre, you're begging to get squeezed and KTo is not the hand I want in a 4 way pot just because of spots like this, you're never really loving getting it in with top pair but you never want to fold either.

    With no read on BU seems like a clear fold to me.

    I'm such a donk. I insta fold there 100% with zero worries.
