KQs facing small back-raise AI multiway

KQs facing small back-raise AI multiway

MGM Springfield $1/$2

Relevant Stacks:

UTG - ~$225
UTG+2 - $79
Hero (Button) - $430
BB - ~$330

UTG, UTG+1, UTG+2, and CO limp, Hero raises to $25 OTB w/ KQ, BB cold-calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 jams for $79, CO folds, Hero??

UTG is late 30's WG, seems somewhat competent, is straddling on the button when given the chance, have seen him show down some small river bluffs

UTG+2 is 20-something loose-passive fish for the most part who bought in for $200 and has dwindled his stack down

BB just sat a few hands ago with a mix of different color chips after previously playing Blackjack and is visibly drunk

Feel like it's unlikely BB or UTG are trapping given the action and that I should iso-raise the $79 AI, but is that spewy given the more reasonable stacks behind me? Should we be clicking back here or just jamming? Or is this a pure call? I suppose it's possible UTG+2 has us crushed, but I'd think we'd want to get HU vs. playing a sidepot multi-way if we don't flop anything

Its not like youre ahead of utg+2s range, but yeah its a jam. $59 to win $154 is solid with KQs, and if you do get called behind. im much less worried about being behind the range of bb or utg.

Based on the action, your sizing was excellent, and you made a good adjustment. id play a tight game when getting this much action, but KQs is certainly part of my range


Yeah, it would be horrible to flat the 79 and go 3 or 4 ways (or suck even more if we CIB and one of them jams) so if you think UTG+2's wide enough and not a tight nit I would just jam now. Since that's all the money UTG+2 has left, he's probably just throwing it all in and going with his hand.


Limp/rr is usually hecka strong in low stakes, but that does change when stack is short, so wouldn't surprise me to see UTG+2 show up with say 99. With BB and UTG likely capped, I'm jamming to get it heads up with UTG+2. If drunk BB does come along, we're not likely crushed.
