Usual game full of the usual suspects.

10 handed, a mix of cash regulars and the early bust outs from the £30 FO. They allow re-entry these days so the cash table sometimes takes longer to fill.

Raised mid position to £8 by one of the tourney regs, he's busted out and has announced his intention to re-enter just before the end of the first hour so is planning on playing cash for c45 minutes. No fool, but given his time constraints he's given himself it seemed likely his rnage was a little wider than usual.

Two callers

Villain 1 - older player, experienced, sat down with £200 and has a little less than that now. From conversations with him i know he plays bigger games than this.
Villain 2 - another of the more mature types. Will gamble and will also call all the way with Top Pair, (or less).

I three bet to £26 (from £90) with  Aspades Qs

Orig raiser pulls a face and folds - I'm seen by a lot of the regulars as being consrvative and tight. I rarely 3bet and  AQs is the bottom of my 3bet range for value.

Villain 1 c£200 thinks for maybe 20 seconds and calls - range? any two cards that look pretty would probably be good enough for him in this game.
Villain 2 c£120calls without hesitation. Range? Suited aces, pairs between 22 and 10 10, some suited connectors even. He may have called pre 'for value' and see calling the extra £18 in the same light.

Flop (£87)  Kc 2d Qc

I have £64 back and am first to act

Suggestions?

Now you're here, you've got to jam methinks, but I'm not sure about the 3bet. 8x it pre is a big bet, so I might be tempted to just call pre.

Is 8x the standard open in this game?

I posted a hand similar to this with AQs oop to a bunch of limpers, and it was the opinion of a bunch of sickos that calling is way better 'cause you're crushing ranges most of the time and that probably applies here. Here's the thread (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=54251.0).

As played though, you've set yourself up for a shove and you've flopped a pair. I'm jamming, and I hope you like jamming too.

[ ] your other thread contains limpers.

Sigh. Obv referring to calling the open as limping.

[  ] I explain myself well.

10/10 for putting "here's the thread" and you click on it. Awesome. Have you considered a job in IT ;)

Mad BBCode skillz.

geeee owwwwerrrrr. you cant remember the BBC. i had one of them at 14

Jam pre.

Seriously.

Yeh shove pre for me too

all in now, not even close. quite like the whole hand actually wp as long as you dont chk call this flop

treasured moment

I put it all in - got one very slow call, and one quick one. Both had two pair, K2, and KQ...

Ace on the river ftw  ;applause;

Posted here because I got so much stick for shoving and although I was sure I was right to shove - i shove my entire range for the 3bet here Yes?

Erm, well I'd only Jam for value, I'd chk/fold if id completely missed however if you say that AQs is the worst hand you'd 3bet then yh you're pretty much jamming everything you've 3bet. JJ is an interesting one, cold crunch the numbers and see i its a possible jam but still in bed and instinctively it prolly is.

Hilarious how people are so full of critique after they've been outdrawn lol

Love you're play on the river, fav bit of the hand :P

Wp. You need some retorts like its better to be lucky than good, or if you are gonna keep calling my 3 bets whEn miles behind then you are gonna end up putting my kids through university :)

I used a version of the second one. My kids are past university age

old skool for the win.
