2/5; Unpleasant spot with underpair, low SPR
2/5, eff stack 800 ; villain is unknown but in a few orbits it's obvious he's very loose pre and will call large raises with trash. Postflop I've seen him make large bets, sometimes donking, but none of these hands went to showdown so I don't have a sense for whether he's just bluff happy.
Villain blind raises to 50 UTG, UTG+1 calls, folds to hero in small blind with TdTh, raises to 200, villain calls, UTG+1 folds.
Flop (450): Qh 7s 3h
Hero bets 150, villain shoves. Hero... ?
450 to call in pot of 1200

You started with 16bb, and tens work great as a jam especially with dead money in there. I am shipping pre.
As played against this guy I’m calling off but not happy about it. Probably get shown queen rag suited a lot but he might shove any pair or even gutters. And of course flush draws. I think we have enough equity to call.
Not sure about this raise size pre, given the effective stack size. I think we should either smooth call to set mine, raise smaller, or just jam against this V. Think I prefer to just jam with TT.
Can't fold flop getting these odds.
Shove pre. and it's not close, with TT we really want BB and UTG+1 to fold. Making it 200 people will sigh call too much. Also 100% fine if we just take the free $107 in the pot.
Probably just shove everything, next best plan is to shove everything except AA and some combos. of AJs and worse which raise to 200. That's probably too FPS vs. the guy blind raising to $50 though.
Flop I'd probably just open shove, as played I'm not folding assuming he only has Qx because he has 7x and hh hands _at least_ (good chance 33/A2s plays this way).

Plus one to all this.
With a blind raise and a call and with only one person left behind you, this is an easy peasy shove pre, likely just picking up $100.
Ship pre, yes. But also Snap call flop. I like the small bet to induce, i might even check.
Agree ship pre. Agree call flop.
Sounds like villain is going to be clicking buttons at least occasionally so if I don’t know where I am at on the flop, with those odds I am calling the flop shove, even though I will expect to be behind a decent amount of the time.
Not sure how many queens villain shoves with. A flush draw is the most obvious hand I expect him to shove with. Not sure if he shoves 99 or 88 but he might.
Shove pre. You're 16bb facing a limper with a vulnerable, but very premium hand considering this stack depth.
Flop is a coin flip and it depends on v's tendencies which we can't know for sure. On average I expect a v matching this description could go with worse pair or flush draw enough that this call would be just about 0 EV. Ever so slightly I lean towards call but I don't hate a fold.
jam pre, snap call AP. I like check shove flop better.
