PNM's reraise, given ca5ey's stack, says to me... "I have a massive hand and I'm willing to go all-in"

Of course, PNM's idea of a 'massive hand' might be AQ or JJ or worse, but with ca5ey and his huge stack to act behind me, should I shove or wait for a better spot?

    By better spot we mean a spot with less resistance, yes?  It being a dym.

    As you rightly say, it comes down to what range we believe oppo values as strength.

    I dont think I fold here tbh, but will be interested to see what the DYNmasters say :)

    Cant really bring the largestack into decision making process in 3bet pot though IMO

    If it's readless i would fold here as the player is basically pot commiting himself against the one player who can lose to him comfortably meaning i would put him on AK minimum but likely AA or KK. If you have reads on his range and you think he could so this with 4 other hands than stated above i.e QQ JJ TT and any other then its a call as your winning majority of the time.
    I think it's a hard fold but correct one in DYM

    Def fold with casey to act.  Hope they get jiggy and theres one less to worry about?

    With KK I stick it in and hope villain doesn't have aces. With QQ, it depends on how you perceive your opponents, but it's a sigh fold most of the time IMO.

    Even if AQ is in villain's 3-bet range and would call a shove, it's probably at the very bottom of villain's 3-bet range in a DYM especially given that the original raise came from UTG. With 2 queens in our hand, the chances of him having AQ are significantly reduced - AK is much more likely than AQ. I think if we're getting all our money in here, we're very rarely getting 2 folds, and we're just gambling that the 3-bettor has JJ and can't find the fold button. Failing that, we're racing or miles behind, both of which are never a good thing in a DYM.

    A better spot will come along sooner rather than later. Throw it away and kick the cat.

    I do pretty well in DYMs (though currently on a run of four 4ths in a row - ugh) so I'm glad that most of you agree I did the right thing here. Not to be results-orientated, but with the A showing up on the turn here I would probably have been out if I had shoved...

    As was mentioned above, I put PNM on at least AK and didn't feel the need to flip (or worse) for my life at this stage.

    However, as I alluded to above  - I came 4th anyway.

    3bet from SB is often not a bluff, fold for me.
