My image is seen as TAG but for whatever reason half the table is gunning for me including the two bigger stacks in this pot. The BB is drunk and has been taking 6 minutes a hand to decide and is getting fairly lucky. His preflop range is literally ATC. UTG is fairly tight haven't seen him play too many hands. I had just bluff UTG+1 for a 200 pot and showed it to him a few orbits ago.

Hero (Button)- Covers
BB- $210
UTG- 130
UTG +1- 325

I have AsKs

UTG limps as does UTG+1, folds to me I was about to raise but the BB (who is drunk) kept saying raise so I decided to limp. BB raises to $20 both limpers call. I reraise to $75 and get call by all three players.

Flop is: K93 all diamonds.

Checks to me. Hero??

I date fat chicks just to balance my range.

Hero shoves. Pot is over $300 and you have $250 left in effective stacks, less than that for the shorties.

Flops are kind of like vagina's. The wetter they are, the harder you hit them.

My first impulse here too.

exactly.

OP - this hand is pretty straight forward, (minus the limp from button with AKs). i know i know,.. drunk guy was talking shit..

you need to bet here, and your only bet is a push

WARNING**
(If you're thinking, you can bet 150, which puts BB and UTG all in. If UTG+1 decides to shove for 250. you could potentially fold knowing you're behind and save 100) Then you need to stop playing with money you dont want to part with.

as the reads go -

BB - is drunk, playing Any two cards. his only game plan is to get lucky.

UTG stayed in with only an extra 55 behind? that makes no sense to me. so he's an idiot. His image is tight, so if he calls your push, its likely he has a good hand.

UTG + 1 - could be steamed from the bluff... he smooth called twice, is OOP. I'm sensing he is also an idiot. probably set mining. Him calling our push means he either flopped a set, or a flush.
either case it would mean he called large bets OOP for the only purpose but to hit a hand. These are the guys who win a few times and keep coming back thinkking they know what their doing.
is thats the case make note of his face and play at his tables.

anyways, long story short. its a push here.

This. Plus I am 3-betting to me than $75. $80 in the pot and you;re only raising an extra $55....? That is asking for all of them to come along. Even in position, I don't want a 4-way flop with AKs when everybody has <1PSB left.
