4X it preflop. Tis' a squeeze spot so we should size larger.


Can't give him KK (if he has it then WP to the turdface****muncher). AA is the likeliest hand that has you crushed here. If he can have a set then he can also have TT/JJ that can play this way. I don't think I find a fold vs an unknown, we just don't have enough information to make a fold like this IMO.

Edit - scratch that, I was basing my analysis on only his play vs you and not taking into consideration the fish in MP. Makes it highly unlikely he has a bluff here. With the fish most likely calling behind preflop I think he feels he can setmine here with any PP and show a profit. Because he isn't closing the action I gotta feel he is pure valuetowning you here. I think I fold now after some more thought.

Call. If he has a hand better than QQ here then he played it pretty piss poorly. People sure suck at poker so yeah he could have you beat but to make a mistake this ginormous is pretty impressive; we'll get it back.

Don't fold.

I do not understand what he could have. Not because I cannot put him on a range. He made it 4BB preflop. People do not do that with a small pp. But the flat OOP after the 3-bet says exactly the opposite. He knew the fish after him will be calling most likely.
So the question is. Would he play like this with 99,TT,JJ?

it is a call for me he hasn't AA or KK he did not 4bet preflop. he have pretty much 99, 10, or JJ, and if he hits a set thats poker and better luck next time but it's a call for me.

I think he hits his set. I don't see him raising with 99/1010/JJ after calling down a 3bet. He thinks you either have AA/KK/QQ or AK/AQ.
The reason why he bet 4 times the BB is very logical. He just wanted to show strenght to protect his marginal hand. He hopes he gets called by a big ace and hit a low flop. He just made an error with calling your 3bet. That seems to make more sense to me than raising all in with nines or tens after calling a 3bet.

4bet allin. he has pocket par 99 1010 or JJ

here's a hint: if you have a hand that beats QQ in this spot you should lead the flop to trap the fish in, not try to blow him out of the pot.

Pretty easy snap call. Sets call post, AA/KK should be repopping pre. Looking 100% to me like 9s-JJ or even 910 trying to get you off AK/AQ/AJ or random squeezing hands.
