push all-in and hope for the old 4outer imo, gl

gee what do you think he has? I love the min re-raise to 240. I certainly hope we have another buy-in all ready to go. I would say call and at least see the last card, and just pray that he shows mercy on us and we get to showdown without losing our ass anymore than we potentially might. I’m really not sure why we are trying to block bet, when we have no reason to think that we don’t have the best hand here at the time we made the bet. We should be happy to be doing anything we can to get more cash put in. Why are we trying to block him putting more money in? This is what we’d do if we had a flush draw or something that desperately needed to see the river card on the cheap. His piddly re-raise screams danger though, so gears have to shift a bit there.

Call, get to showdown cheap as possible. Do not block bet with top two.

I’m reading this as Villain either having 33, 77, or some sort of 1-pair hand that he finds exciting and we beat easily. Heck, he might have KQ as well. It’s very hard to see him min-raising with a flush draw, but that’s always a 5% possibility.

Jamming with our 2-pair guarantees that we get stacked vs. a set — and get a fold from almost anything else. No reason to do that.

Call here; call most river bets.

Agree with the General. Call and hope

When v show his set of 3s you can call misdeal due to the 2 queens of hearts. Seriously your best bet might be for a 3rd heart on the river to slow v down.

Look at us getting all tricky in a multi-way pot with no reads!
I really hate our check-call on the flop. Just donk it imo, or at least check-raise. We’re really lucky the two other players folded, getting 4.7:1 on their call.

Keep this pot as small as possible now and call.

The fact that 61% would shove and another 20% would raise here just goes to show how profitable sets can be.
If we don’t river a boat we may just have to check/fold there.

Limp/call preflop, check/call the flop, donk the turn. What on God’s green earth are we doing? I guess we’re just clicking random buttons, eh? OK, two can play that game. How about… time bank, then call and instashove the river. That makes as much sense as any other street.

Our hero needs to get out of Dodge as fast as possible. 1000NL is going to eat him alive.

Really feels like a we’re up against a set to me. But who knows – he could be trying to find out where he’s at or confuse us. I think he might also have QJ, Q10, or something like that. Either way I try to get to showdown as cheap as possible.

Ok, so Hero has tried to show the V they are drawing with the blocking bet. It blew up, yet min-raise does not price-out a draw.

PF actions – I’m thinking the button might raise w/77 with only 1 limper before them. QQ certainly is, besides Hero has one so this hand is very unlikely. 33 fits the pattern pre, except that ½ pot post-flop bet seems a bit light for bottom set on a 4-flush board (I’ll assume Hero has the Qd).

There a number of hands we are beating like Kx, Qx, pr/draws (e.g. 8h7h), and outright draws. I’d call the turn and check the river. I’d evaluate a river call.

i think we’re best, and i raised small for value. i dont know what he has, a set is a small part of that range though. in that case we’re beat with top two on the turn on a safe board in a cash game…. thats a cooler. we’re beating anything else though….and if anything, i dont want him drawing for free, or getting lucky for free. pay to play.

ps, i actually like the fake blocker bet. me and hero are thinking along the same lines….our hand is best, fake a blocker to induce a raise…and it worked. cant get scared now because the plan you put forward is working, that doesnt make sense.
