yep what a pickle of a situation David :)

as long as you remember that the important factor in making your flop decision is how you fare equity wise versus an opponent's range and keep in mind how they [style of the opponent] and there ranges will react to your bet sizing, especially so with yourself oop then you won"t go far wrong [to often :)]...

its very much a read dependent situation, i don"t know what your thoughts are on checking the flop here to extract value on board textures like this versus whatever type/style/ability of player but it"s worth pondering, studying up on or discussing with your poker buddies imho...

also with your reads at the time and in hindsight do you think this might of played out differently with different bet sizing pre or on the flop cbet size David?

Putting the villains on a range here was part of the problem. Specifically V2, given he had shown signs of calling light because he fancied his ability postflop.

I"m happy with the preflop bet size, I think V1"s flat is interesting with KK given his stack and his read that he was ahead because "you"d raised a lot from the blinds". I had, but I had been a bit blessed with starting hands. Again, V2 got in the way with his flat call. HU vs V1 the hand plays very differently I think.

Bigger c-bet? Hmmm, maybe, making it somewhere around 60% pot is committing me and as it turns out that"s no bad thing.

Most discussion from here in is always going to be result-affected, but the thread has provided a lot of food for thought and is an added situation to relate back to in future similar spots.

Calling turn because you"ve called flop as "nothing has changed" is flawed thinking. A lot has changed. Poker is a game played through the streets and by calling the flop we have one more street of info.

We now have a situation where we have two all in"s and imo someone has an 8 which doesn"t leave us very many outs- granted there is a helluva lot of money in the pot and ingame I might sigh call (which by the way I think is an understandable mistake) but I would still fold here knowing most of the time I"m beat. Someone who is better than me at the maths (noble1 maybe) can probs do some sums. It"s probs close between and call/fold but I"m calling due to the maths, not because I called flop therefore I should call turn

A call can be ok if you have a solid read that one or both opponents are drawing and pot committed on the turn. You can then flat and get it in on a non-spade turn. You still get the same value, but save chips if you fall behind.

Of course you have the As, so your read would need to be perfect - and I don"t think it can be in this spot. Turn decision would be marginal given you"d have up to 9 outs.

Back to the hand. Nothing has changed, a fold here is dreadful given your flop call.


ok some food for thought :)

if villain2"s 3bet flat range ip looks something like this - JJ-66,AQs+,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,AKo 5.4% [49 combos] don"t worry to much as you can widen and narrow as much as you like and still come to roughly the same conclusions...

on a flop of  Js 8s 8c what will he likely fold given the action pre and post and he"s not some kind of NUTTER? 66 77 99 TT AQs AKs JTs AKo
and continues given the action with - JJ,88,T9s,98s,87s

villain1"s min re-raise of our cbet on the flop maybe - JJ+,88,QsTs,Ts9s,98s,87s

by calling virtually every card in the deck bar an ace jack or eight gives you less equity - 7/47 or basically 15% chance of a A J or 8  100-15/15=5.66 to 1 against....
you can put in tptk and whatnot into the villain ranges and allow for some NUTTER play but the reads don"t really indicate pure spew so mainly the maths will still point towards a losing play if you call flop and call or bet turn or check fold turn on various turn cards spade or non spade...

regarding the the chances of trips for two villains/opponents depending on there flat 3bet ranges then with there whole range on the flop you will be facing trips upto approx 16 to 25% of the time, of course after you bet and they flat or re-raise this percentage goes up rather :)

oop and scratching your bonce, calling the flop re-raise after the action? hmmmm no ta :)

Against the tight range you"ve input (which is basically the ranges of two absolute rocks), of course any blank turn will destroy your equity - especially as against those range running spades are our second most likely way of getting there. Against a wider and more accurate range these figures would look much better - Villain 1 is definitely a nutter according to the OP!

Regardless, getting chips in after the flop re-raise is likely to be bad - definitely agreed and that any realistic maths will show this.

However I"ve been playing devil"s advocate here, if you have a read where you can skew Villains" ranges away from JJ and 8x - for whatever reason, I"m not saying it"s reasonable or realistic - then you can call the flop reraise, and therefore the turn. It"s the only way you could call the flop, and if this is your reasoning, then you must continue on the turn.
