I think you can argue that raising any hand here is just massively profitable early in 1k ftops, thoughts?

agree with most all of this for what its worth, but what makes you think that most regulars will make this QUICK adjustment in the middle of the hand?
well yeah it depends on the reg and how u think they view u. I wouldnt totally put it past all regs to think that u wouldnt play a set this way and 2p isnt in ur range nor is KK+
but i do agree with what you said about her putting herself in ur spot to range what she thinks u have. thats one huge leak in my game, i keep thinking ppl play like me and i dont apply realistic ranges in certain spots.
ur right tho it "looks" scary and ur doing it into like 3 stacks that it appears u gotta run it against, but with no f-draws and one crappy open ender on the board its not like ur gonna get shoved on by draws here like ever. Meanning ur up vs hands that soul crush u or they fold which means u can bluff raise a size which makes it look like you cant fold but in reality u can.

im flatting QKs and AQ pre almost always in this spot and these stacks. Im betting the flop a decent % of the time it is checked to me as well. Also i think i would flat literally all of my pairs in this spot at least some % of the time meaning KK+ would be in my range if i was peachy. Now i think KK+ plays similarly to KQ and AQ because rock is sorta repping all or nothing (with i suppose 76s being the one gray area). Pretty sure rock is never gonna have QQ here so we really just range him 76s, 55/88 and air. I dont think hes gonna c/r call KQ/AQ for value into like 5 guys here. I suppose hands like 9T, JT, J9, 79 all of those could be in there if he is semi bluffing and calling the smaller stacks. That or he has total air and is just gonna fold regardless of his price which gives us equity.
I guess my point is he isnt going to play a set this way unless hes trying to like 8th level u. He knows the board is insanely dry and theres still two more streets he can get value from his sets on esp with how big the pot will be compared to the shorter stacks namely peachy.
In the long run averaging all these possible variables out it just seems like i would never consider folding Qx and KK+. I guess u could argue getting in like 99 here too vs him since we dont think hes gonna c/r call Qx for value. Basically anything >99 plays very similar against his range.
yeah of course...again, i agree that anything > 99 plays almost identical vs his range...but i still think you would have difficult time gettin all of it in here with these types of hands

haha i know i never said it would be an easy call im just saying you can make the call/shove whatever it is with those hands if u really think about it. its def hard at the time esp when alot is going on and ur in a slow structured 1k that u dont want to bust early. not saying id be getting this in but looking at it now i can see how it really wouldnt be bad at all to

hes just talking about a postflop spot i dont see what the problem is. I personally wouldnt fold AQ to u dunno wat i do w/ KQ since its not much diff than AQ vs ur range but like i dont see u really playing a set this way and 2p isnt really gonna be in ur range either. Honestly i dunno what ur trying to rep on this board. If you're expecting her to fold out everything but sets (kk+ too?) then if u actually had a set you'd be losing a ton of value playin it this way. i see u being open ended more than anything here tbh
In theory this is all good, but often when multi tabling and such especially in tournament poker people wont have the time/ability to go this deep in thought and just click the fold button. Although rock isnt really repping much of anything I think its a very +EV play.
Edit: basically what rock said :(

for sure, but then in rly deciding whether it is profitable to raise atc in OP spot, if we agri it would be tough to pull the trigger while multitabling and this early and with limited timebank, it seems like a spot that makes sense to raise

HH's like this are really annoying when people dont say their cards or show all of the action. Im not looking to solve this riddle just put the whole thing then ask for thoughts. Also maybe you could say in OP why you think this c/r is profitable with ATC, because with no explanation it's pretty easy to disagree. you might have explained in the thread but i didnt get that far

Everyone has thus far responded based largely on what Peachy will continue with now, but an equally important question is what the original betting range is to begin with. Doubt I know anything about Peachy's game, but what kind of a range gets bet here in a multi-way pot after flatting pre? Clearly if it was a random's betting range and Peachy's presumed calling range of like sets only it'd be profitable, but I think we first need to establish how often Peach bets. I don't really know so I'm not commenting as to whether or not the play is good with atc, but I'd like to know what rock/dave/etc think is a reasonable range for Peachy to be betting.

Nice,
I think she probably bets most of her SETS 78s,89s,t8s ,99 ,TT, JJ QJs QTs Q9s AQ KQ KK AA at the time i figured shed only get it in with her sets so.... I don't really know the frequency in which she will bet her 8s though, but imagine if you had a 5 or an 8 in your hand...

you really think she leads out that wide into 4 ppl? seems like a huge mistake to be leading out light into 4 ppl when its so easy to just get blown off your hand by a move like your making, also seems unlikely that QQ+ are in her range seeing that she overcalled in a spot likely to get other callers when stacks are so deep...

shes not betting 78s,89s,t8s ,99 ,TT, JJ, and she doesnt have q9o pre.
shes prob betting KK+ and any queen shes flatting pre and sets. She might bet 76s tho. So like basically none of this folds logically lol vs u but like u guys are saying its hard at the time to pull the trigger with anything less than a set here so i guesssss if thats true its a good raise but if a reg can figure u out here its clearly going to be highly unsuccessful given her flop betting range and what i said u can logically get in (which is arguable).

i agree, but im not really sure she can have KK+ here with the overcall so deep stacked. I think she can have QJs, KQ or AQ types of hands but other than that it has to be sets or just complete air...so it seems like rock is making this move to fold out Q's she may have, but i cant imagine her folding any set
i kinda disagree that AQ or KQ hands should be shoving in over Rock tho...imo that play is just a bluff, shoving will make Rock fold all worse hands/his air but will get you snapped off by his sets, i guess if youre convinced Rock is light here, instead of shoving over him, why not just flat and let him hang himself?

I think checking 99 TT JJ here is extremely bad i don think she has q9o but she could have q9s. I dont see much difference in betting Q9s QTs QJ and 99-JJ ,there of fairly similar value vs peoples continuing range. Def interesting to here your thoughts and i agree with alot of your points youve made.

this is right, i would put those hands in the air category, cuz she cant continue with those hands and after she takes the stab at the pot shes going to have to shut down with them if she gets flatted or fold to ur reraise

i don't think there is anyway on god's green earth a set gets bet this stiffly here. There's just no reason for it imo. it does look like a strong queen. having said that, i'm leaning toward what dave said earlier: in that, had i lead with, say AQ, after the flop, i can't really think of hands that rock can have which both beat mine and also constitute a raise. AA or KK maybe, but this could prove to be a hard sell, given you're preflop line.
i may be way off here, but a flat scares me a hell of a lot more, i'm i'm sitting with.... um any hand other than top set, really.
prolly right though, rock. tough spot to pull the trigger with ~ top top. I'm sure it worked out.
nice thread fwiw
