2/5 (10) - Big 3b pot with AK flops top two
Hero ~ $1k
Sb ~ Covers. Unknown to me and I'm a reg who plays here a lot. Seems like average bad player on the loose passive side.
BB ~ $800. Complete wild card blackjack player who is taking a break from the pits. Another reg told me the other day the guy players $500-$1000 a hand at BJ. This guy is clearly drunk or on pills/coke something. First hand he sits it folds to him and he looks at the dealer like "what do I do?" and he puts out four greens ($100). Everyone folds lol. Shortly after he called my 3b and donked into me with K2o on something 953ssx. So yeah he's special.
I'm the UTG straddle $10. One limper in MP and SB raises to $35.
BB whale calls $35
I make it $150 with A♠K♥
SB calls $150
BB calls $150
Flop A♣K♦Q♣ Pot ~ $460
SB checks
BB whale puts out four greens ($100) awkwardly and looking at the dealer like is this ok?
Hero?

Jam to make QQ fold duh
I think call is good if it was just us two, but I'm not looking to give SB a good price to call, so I'm raising to 250 here to isolate, and jamming turn.
That said, I do think Jam is a reasonable option
If we don't jam, what are we doing on really bad turns, e.g. 10c here, and he all in jams. Are we calling? Against most villains it would be a fold, but I'm guessing we might just run with it against this villiain.
SB should quit poker.
Minclick. 200$. See what SB does and re-eval. You're just putting in stacks but I don't know what large raises get value from here. Calling seems too passive for this sizing.
Uhm...well played?
I'd love to hear the SB explain himself. He raises pre with QQ in the SB. So far, so good, but then he just flats your 3B, OOP and multi-way, with this loose whale between you?
I mean...I understand not wanting to push the whale out of the pot, but it's going to be really hard for him to realize his equity here, when he caps his range, and we're last to act as the pre-flop 3B'er.
Folding QQ seems terrible, but...nope, it just seems terrible. What better hands does he have that aren't JTs?
As for hero...tough spot, but I think raising is correct, and we don't have the stack depth to raise any meaningful amount and have enough left behind to create the illusion of fold equity, so I think we can just jam, even though the most likely result is they both fold (because we don't know SB has QQ in his range here) and we don't get any more value for our hand.
