1/3/5 shove or check/fold flop?

1/3/5 10 handed.

The rock is out everyhand, but played from every single position so the position is weird preflop.

V1 ~ He opens/3bets shove light, but rarely see him flatting preflop. stacks 400ish

V2~ Huge passive fish, calls with any 2 cards. Seen him calling 27s vs a shortstacker all in for 75. He lost 1500+ already tonight already. Stacks 250ish

V3 ~ Only seen him open with 22/44 first to act, no other reads. stacks 200ish.

Hero has nitty image, cover them, stacked v2 once tonight.

Preflop
Rock is on UTG+2, folds to V1 in HJ opens to 15, V2 calls in btn, V3 calls in sb, Hero picks up KQhh squeezes to 60. V1 folds, V2 and V3 call.

Pot 195
Flop T82r(1 heart) V3 checks, Hero? We have a pot size shove left. Shove or check/fold?

In theory you don't really have value hands that want to shove here. So it would be a mistake to shove this hand.

In practice though, it might not matter if your opponents don't realise that.


Sounds like we have no fold equity vs V2 if he has any piece and he has all the 2 pair combos, all the sets, all the OESD, possibly JJ and plenty of random pairs. Not happy getting called here.

V3 gets to see the action before him and again if he has a piece of it, if V2 folds he's probably calling.

Not sure a small bet gets either V to fold overcards, and we don't have much left to continue barreling on the turn.

Sometimes it's ok to give up.


Check/fold. You have zero fold equity. Heck, they might call w/ A high.

H checks
V2 jams, H folds
Feels bit off check/folding like this
Preflop maybe too small or too big to get into situations like this.
