Hi guys, I must apologize for the lack of exact stack sizes and suites in this hand, my tracking software didn't capture the hand.
Was my betsize overkill or was this a decent line as an exploit?
Reads: SB and BB are both regs who 3bet 7ish percent and squeeze. My hand sample on them wasn't huge so that's all I know. The stakes were NL20 but with a much weaker than average pool with many players who limp. Can't comment on how good the regs are. My stack was about 60 and SB was 30 and BB was 25.
BU (Hero): TT - Bet 3bb
SB: Call
BB: Call
Flop: T67r
SB: Check
BB: Check
BU (Hero): Bet 1.5x Pot
SB: Reraise 3x
BB: Fold
BU (Hero): Shove
SB: Calls and shows 77 and mocked me for my bet size and targeting only 6 combos
My thinking was that this flop hits both SB's and BB's ranges, I didn't expect SB to ever call with connectors or bigger pairs since they work better as 3 bets, but I was expecting him to setmine with middle and small pairs. Likewise I expected BB to have a lot of 2 pairs and draws and only 1 hand that has me beat. So I overbet thinking it's likely one of them will call or re-raise with worse. I also knew both of them were capable of re-raising that flop (and in that sense maybe I should have bet 2/3 pot instead to induce a reraise?).
Is this a profitable play? Or was my logic off?
