I really have no idea about this hand. JJ is always a 3-bet for me preflop, but after a huge 3-bet is called by 2 people i dont know what to do really.

UTG is a donk 33/5/.3, so the limp/call isnt unexpected. i have MP as a decent TAgg running 24/17/2 over 175 hands.

whats my line on the flop?


Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO ($61.50)
Hero ($86.80)
SB ($83.65)
BB ($70.35)
UTG ($95.75)
MP ($48)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J, J.
UTG calls $0.50, MP raises to $2.5, 1 fold, Hero raises to $8.75, 2 folds, UTG calls $8.25, MP calls $6.25.

Flop: ($27) 2, 5, 9 (3 players)
UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets ???

I think I would bet a bit stronger on the flop, about $22ish.

At that point, when called, you would be committed to call any bets from MP on future streets, as he would only have like $15 left in a 70ish pot.

As played, I'm not sure if our J of diamonds is good if the flush comes, since MP raised in EP in the first place, but I think getting 3:1 we have to call here anyhow.

i edited OP. I feel like the flop decision was the one i was lost on. Both villians are checking to me here nearly always so i dont really get any more info before i act on the flop.

I usually re-raise 4x pre-flop with a limper and a raiser, esp when the donk that's likely to call is deepstacked. I always c-bet the flop for ~$20.

with both villains calling me PF, and the better villain (whom i actually give credit for having a big hand) having only $38ish left, would it just be better to overbet push since a $20 flop bet is committing me to put him in/call his AI on the turn? Or does the donk villain still being in the hand make me play it more normally?

I don't like overbet pushing with here with a very little chance you get called by a worse hand (maaybe TT or a flush draw), only one better hand you might fold (QQ) and a small chance that another deepstacked opponent is slowplaying you. You're right that stack sizes make this awkward but I think you have to take a shot at a 50bb pot when you're the rr'er, your hand looks good and two players checked to you. If UTG folds and MP pushes making it $19 to call, I actually think you can find a fold. Pot odds would be ~4.5:1, but you'd be a huge dog to his range:

If you think most bets just get cold-called here and that won't rly help you put them on a hand, I like a check in this spot. If the turn is < Q, not a diamond and they both check again, I'd put out a nice sized bet. Either that or raise the flop and push most turns...

the only problem w/ this is that MP is only calling w/ JJ+, AK, AKs, and maybe AQs. Im at the lower end of his range now so the only thing i beat are whiffed AK/AQ hands and 2 of those have a big enough draw to push over a bet. He may be doing this w/ 99 but i doubt it because hes not getting set odds. UTG's range is sooo wide that if it were HU w/ him i would bet this out 100% of the time.
