They have it or they don’t! You love to see it.

Looking from the other side, what would be a good range to call the micro bet with on a Q33o flop?

This is really challenging to answer in a 6-way hand. It depends where we’re defending from and who is all making this kind of play. I’m not even sure if the microbet is a good idea in this format because, ugh, it is so so complicated. But let’s simplify and then work backwards from there. If we call an UTG+1 open at 80bb deep and from the BB and then see them microbet into us after we ck, how do we proceed?

Well, we still fold a lot of junk. Our offsuit garbage and our suited combos below the Q that can’t make backdoor straights. We raise most of our 3x, as well as some suited combos with overcards and backdoors (A2s, A4s, A5s, 54s, K2s), and a few of our best Qx. We’re flatting with a lot of the other stuff (JJ-22, lots of our other Ax/Kx holdings, most of our Qx holdings).

If this is our approach heads up, we need to account for all the people behind us multiway. It forces us to play more honest and tighter. So where a hand like As2s is an appealing raise on Qs3h3d HU vs. a microbet, it is a big error multiway if we have several players left to act behind us. My raising and calling range would become a lot more value dense and speculative (with an eye toward value or ability to make the nuts). The more opponents I have, the more heavily I’d weight my raising range to 3s. I would almost never raise a Q here. I’d still likely fold much of the same range I would, adding in a few more combos to account for the multiway nature.

Looks good to me. In MP I lost top full house to quads, and full house over full house.
