    Default Live hand - Crown 2/3

    I haven't played much live cash before, so ....anyway it's at crown - 2/3
    I'm playing a pretty standard sort of game, TAG OOP, wider IP, but compared to the rest of the table i think my image is pretty tight and almost nitty

    In MP, Ac 7c
    1 limper, I raise to $12, 4 callers

    Flop

    Ah 7h 9s

    I bet $40, next guy raises to $160, next goes all in for $190, fold, fold

    Me?????
    I have about 220 left, after my cbet

    The first guy likes to "protect" his made hands with pot szed cbets, has jammed a few times with the nuts (always got called), and made a couple of looser bluffs
    The secong guy is pretty straight forward

    right now you're losing to 77, 99, AA and A9.

    All within anyone's pre flop calling range for $12 @ 2/3 but its pretty hard to put them on those specific hands.



    You said "The first guy likes to "protect" his made hands with pot sized cbets, has jammed a few times with the nuts (always got called), and made a couple of looser bluffs"

    Could the underlined only be top pair or bottom two?

    any info on the first guys 3-betting range. is he likely to flat big aces ip? do you think he'd 3-bet 99 very often against you?

    without pretty specific reads it's pretty hard/likely pretty bad to fold given how drawy the flop is.

    We are mostly dead or anti-drawing so folding is ok. Mostly neither player has AK, one has A9 or better and the other has fd+pair or nfd.

    Cbet a smaller amount.

    Hard to put the first guy on something weaker than top two, more likely a set of 9's. I would fold

    havnt played much at the crown but at the treasury in brisbane people dont 3-bet big aces very often.......

    i'm a bit of a station but i find it pretty hard to do anything other than snap when getting 3:1 with top and bottom especially when we arent even playing for fullstacks.......

    can we get a better description of villains/ any reads ..

    limp behind imo, or make it bigger pre. As played I would fold and not tell anyone at the table.

    Got to agree - it's sad to say but it definitely wouldn't be uncommon for you to be ahead here (needing to dodge a bit obv) given the loose play that often goes on in 2/3 at Crown.

    Spose it just comes down to your read on the opponents and it's just a shitty spot. Results? Was there a JhTh in there anywhere?

    i guess that pretty much sums it up.....I had been pretty quiet and decided to play it, but after I got the callers I thought it was a bad raise, in my case.

    When the first guy raised 4x i was thinking ??? but am gonna call
    When the second guy jams, i thought there is a FD but what else am I ahead of?

    Also, getting 10 seconds to call in a 150BB pot is not much fun, I understand limiting tanking , but maybe a bit of leeway here would be nice

    FWIW First guy had A4 (no heart), second one the nut flush draw

    And yeah moffo, should've folded and NOT told em what I had.

    I guess it seemed like a pretty easy table at which to win money without too much risking stacks - and it all ended well
