Flush
Fast-fold anonymous Zone on Ignition. No HUDs no reads.
Hero looks down at KK in LJ (UTG in 6-max) and RFI for 2.5BB which is standard.
HJ calls.
BN 3! to 4x which makes sense IP. 3x + 1 for the HJ.
BB flat calls the 3! Now this is not a strong move obviously; neither HJ or BB are likely to be particularly strong, probably have low to medium PPs.
I think about my options:
1. FOLD - no way
2. CALL - no, I dont want to go multiway in a 3! pot with these two guys who are weak. Raising is a must.
3. RAISE - ok, so we're raising - what is our sizing here. Well at a minimum I should go 3x + 1 (for BB caller) + 1 (for being OOP to 3 bettor on BN) so 5x.
If I raise to 50BB and get called once the pot is going to be 125BB and I'll have 50BB behind. If I get called twice then the SPR is even smaller.
I think the only sizing here then is to jam. It will eliminate any V's positional advantage and doesnt leave me with a bad SPR with no room to maneuver or generate FE post flop.
I guess if I'm jamming here, this is the hand to do it with. Only BN can have AA as played IMHO and BN's 3! range is probably wide-ish as HJ is weak and I need to play tighter with HJ behind me, so BN can squeeze with less than AA/AK because it will be tough for me to call with HJ behind and it will be tough for HJ to call as he is capped/weak.
So we rip it in and hold our breath.
And we get called by BN and BB - yikes!!
There is a tiny side pot as BB over-jams an additional 5.5BB and BB calls.
Hero begins chanting HOLD, HOLD, HOLD, HOLD!
SCOOP!! Time for a fresh pair of undies!
