Call.


This is generally a semi-bluff from a somewhat competent rec player. Any set here would not want to blow you off your hand, they would want to bet something you can call. I would expect his range to be dominated by TP+FD, FDs with overcards, and occasional combo draws. Definitely calling.


It's exactly my reflexion. To me he don't jam a set, so I expect hands like KJs, JTs, QTs, QJs, sometimes QQ. I think my hand have close to 60% equity.


Too soon for results, OP. Wait at least a day after your post or when conversation dies down, whichever comes later.


Hand is fine. I make the call, but all-in w/ the nuts is a "thing" I've been witnessing a lot lately. My husband and I were discussing it just the other day. I would not be surprised to see 99 or JJ here, but I still call for all the times it's not.


Bigger pre. At SPR 3 with an overpair this is a trivial stack off.


preflop too small, maybe at least 70
flop snap call


Snap call.


65-70 pre. calling the jam


Snap call..preflops too small.


Agree with others generally - yes bigger preflop (60-70). It's 6-handed and V is opening wide, but at the same time it's UTG vs SB so he may be somewhat restrained preflop. Given positions you might see KK-QQ called a lot here although with players behind you'd think KK would 4bet quite a lot. JJ/99 obviously are all there. The smallish squeeze may just see some hands like 44 in there, but then again it might see some hands mentioned above making the preflop call like QJs. V can't have the nut flush draw, but he can have JXcc and he can have high-equity combo draws. I don't see this as a snap call at all - it's rather marginal to me unless there are some overplayed overpairs in his range maybe with a heart - but I'm still calling.


Raise bigger pre.

Check flop, especially with the Ah in our hand.

Doubt we're good here, but it's probably not a fold I'd be able to make very often.
