I was kind of lost preflop. This spot feels like a 4-bet or fold spot due to playing OOP vs 2 people here with any calling range will be hard. There's also rake considerations to have a 4-bet or fold range. And we are deeper than normal vs the squeeze. I chose 2.5x sizing or close to but likely should've sized bigger due to being OOP.

We still have nut advantage on this board as sets are unlikely. So our advantage of AA-KK and maybe QQ still exists. Range cbet seems like a solid strategy.
The jam felt super weird. I don't get creating a raising range here as BTN. Maybe TT-QQ want to do so for protection because I have so many overcards?
For my call to be profitable I need 33.7% equity vs his range. If villain has TT-QQ here then I need him to have eight bluff combo's that have overcards. So AKs and AQs for example. In that case I have 34.59%. Blocking TT might be worth it in that case.

In general here I actually prefer calling. 4betting is certainly fine, but being deep I don't mind calling TT as it is pretty strong holding vs sqz range. CO is likely rec as well because calling 3x open raise in CO.
as played I would fold flop vs raise. Not sure about betting range as well, he has different range than normal 3bet (because most of PP/SC, and even suited broadways can peel preflop and play IP instead of squeezing). Point is that only bluffs I can find on this texture as shove flop is A5s, if he does AKs/AQs that's pretty silly play and you don't see it basically ever.
Discussed it with another group as well. They would 4-bet AA-QQ, AK. And have a calling range of 88-JJ, AQs.
I do understand that 4-betting is ugly because hands such as TT perform rather bad when we do get called. And we get to see a flop anyway as CO is unlikely to have a backraising range.
I just don't like having a calling range here. It feels like I would allow the squeezer to get away with it too much.
This spot can also get dicey when we call pre and end up in the middle three way vs BTN cbet.
Snowie thinks calling here is the worst option with -ev. It thinks folding most of the time is the optimal play, with mixing a small 3bet a fraction of the time, with both ev being 0. On the flop, betting small has slightly higher ev, and of course it is going broke here.
Thanks. So the 4-bet preflop is likely the better option, just can't do it all the time. And going broke on this flop.
Yes in theory its impressive you look the line very close to what AI software does. But in practice the btn probably shows up too much with JJ+ here. Personally, I fold preflop.
I've seen people shove hands like 76 here or 66, 55, but not this deep. Personally don't like the 4bet, but don't get the advice of folding.
Can't we at least flat with 99-JJ? If we are folding everything but AK, QQ+ that should be exploitable.
