Get QQ in here?

Live $300 PKO, effective stacks 80 BBs.

MP opens to 2.5 BBs, one call, I have red QQ in the SB and 3 bet to 12.5x BBs. Both call. SPR is now around 2.

Flop J97 black 2 tone, I continue for half pot, MP raises me 3x, other player folds. He has about 2x his raise left and we cover by a hair.

Hero? I'm assuming this is a standard jam but wanted to check.

I think I would stack off here due to lower spr unless villain was a Super nit who never has worse.

Q-10, AJ, maybe some bad players think other Jx is the nuts. Think this is standard GII but I also don’t value tournament life that much.


He has all the sets, plus some AK/AQ/AJ/A10 that all r/c pre. Good board to xr any of the non-made hands where he has front or back door flush draws.
Jamming might fold out the back doors it might also fold some of the straightforward flush draws, it’s not getting rid of the sets.
6 combos each of sets, one each of the nut flush draws so 10 hands we don’t really want to see.
11 combos of Ax back doors plus a few KQ/KJ combos.

Live reads?

I’m leaning toward a fold, [edit after seeing it’s a PKO] but, how big is his bounty?


Bounty is $50.


Yeah, I think the pot is too big, and between that and the potential bounty, you just gotta get it in. Live at these stakes I think you'll be behind more than otherwise, but sometimes you'll catch AJ or a combo draw, and having QQ at least helps to block any gutshots or hit a runner runner straight yourself.

Not a fun spot, but you got to a flop with an SPR you pretty much always have to stack off with an overpair on, and you have 40% of your stack in already.

This is, presumably, early in the tournament?
If so, I’m very much inclined to fold.
You have people willing to call 2.5 and then flat a 5x 3bet and they will allow you a lot of opportunities to recover your losses here.
Also, why so big pre, and on the flop?

I think it's a standard 3 bet sizing out of position against 2 people. Multiway I usually continue larger as well, although I'm not sure what's correct since solvers generally don't advise on non heads up pots.

This is live poker
