Miffed22001 is on a distinguished road
Button is a luckboxx fish. I dont even think he tries to be tight, he just plays bad. BB is just a donk
Miff has been raising lots but had to give up lots of spots to the button who is forcing Miff into playing big pots with marginal hands. Miff struggles to read this guy
Couple questions:
1) My scooby sense went off here, button has been 3betting me lots but too much to always be a hand. If i came over the top for the first time i thought id steal (note: he'd been miniraising big pairs and reraising hard with AK). Thoughts?
2) Going with my read that opp doesnt have a real monster here (im talking AA/KK) do i call with QQ here (if i had it)?
Bare in mind ive given a read, im not happy QQ would be behind here, but i also thought opp would fold his hand to a strong 4 or5(?) bet here preflop.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($300.20)
SB ($240.40)
BB ($40.85)
UTG ($100.10)
Hero ($236.20)
CO ($270.10)

Preflop: Hero is MP with J, A.
1 fold, Hero raises to $6, 1 fold, Button raises to $18, 1 fold, BB raises to $40.85, Hero ???? raises to $90

I think you should push, because a minreraise just makes you committed anyway. However, you could just let it go also.

I would screw around here vs. 2 opponents approximately never. At least if you had 67s you would have slightly more equity if one of them has a hand.

Seems like they should be easy to beat with ACTUAL cards, as opposed to AJo

Genitruc is an unknown quantity at this point
I feel lik 75% fold 25% push.

If the fish is very bad then there could be lots of dead money to gamble for. It's high-risk lowish reward though since you're not dominated many of the fish's hands.
when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?
