Hero ...?

I have all the outs in the world, it would seem, but with 2 callers of my 3-bet I am a little worried. Do I bet out here, how much if I do, and generally what should my plan for the rest of the hand be?

I have almost no hands on the button, and about 450 on the original raiser, where he is playing 12.5/9/2.5, with 50% fold to 3-bet (not certain how relevant that last bit is).

check - shove all in

The pot is big (10.50) and if one of the villians raises say 1/2 pot then its $15

You have more than 50% equity.

The thing to remember is this, what type of hands do people like to call 3bets with? TT-QQ and AJ+ and some high suited Aces and KQs

Well as you hold the Ad and the Jd and Qd is onboard its almost impossible for someone to have a flush already.

I think the calling range here is KQo AJo AQo Sets KK

So lets say you have 25% FE and 45% hand Equity.

Shoving is hugely EV at this point in the hand.

Infact open shoving is +EV but less so than when someone else puts some money in the pot before you do it.

Ehh I'm not fond of the c/r here. Why are we thinking one of them will bet? They will be scared of the board too, will call a bet or two with big pairs but not bet out imo. I would bet like $7-$8 here and shove any turn but a Q

Well the money is going in, that's for sure. Its just a matter of how. Lets think about the scenarios:

Pros for betting
-We get more fold equity than check/shoving since no one is bet/folding this flop.
-If the turn checks through and we whiff, we have to check/call and that's just going to be about break even, not +EV.

Pros for check/jamming
-Sometimes this checks through and we make our hand free! Shoving when you have 100% equity is REALLY profitable!
-If UTG bets and BTN calls/shoves, we can trap dead money in easier.

So idk, I think I'm leaning towards a check/jam. The button looks really bad, and I really want him in the hand if he's got something like J♠T♦. Also if it checks through and we bink a ten, that's like grounds for doing a backflip.

But honestly, I'm not sure it matters that much. Flip a coin, there probably won't be a big difference in EV between the two.

okay, as the hand played out, the money did get in on the flop, but seriously, why would any one of them bet if i check this board?

if the flop gets checked and the turn is a blank, am i still comfortable shoving here? or do i go for the check-raise again, which as c9 said isn't exactly for fold equity...
