I'd fold.

Full 3/6 Table. It was short for awhile, then filled up.

New player posts UTG and checks, UTG+2 raises leaving himself with $1, MP 3-bets leaving himself with $7, you're on the button with ATo, both blinds are reasonably tight.

Cap, Call, or Fold?

Your title is VERY deceptive, this is not easy. I cap though.

Re: Easy Preflop Question 3/6
 

I would probably fold this but I think it's probably close. The PFR and 3-bettor are probably pretty crappy players since they are running out of money preflop, so your ATo probably has enough 3-way equity against their desparation hands for a cap to be +EV. However, you have to be pretty sure that you will get this 3-way.

Re: Easy Preflop Question 3/6
 

Fold. ATo isn't strong enough 3-way (yes if play it, definitely raise to push blinds). The equity just doesn't get much higher than 33% enough.

I agree with alot of the comments and the first raiser's hand could probably be very weak (2 sooted cards), the 2nd raiser could be weak as well, but having to rely on both of them being weak is not worth the reward.

I think in this situation my raising point would be 99 and up and AJs and better.

Re: Easy Preflop Question 3/6
 

Fold. ATo Licks to one raise let alone two (unless they're lags), even if the raisers are both almost all in. My guess is you folded and would have won the pot with the raisers showing down some junk. No matter, calling this is still -EV.

I'm kind of surprised by the responses here, maybe you guys give the two raisers too much credit. I thought it was kind of implied that since they have so little money left they're raising with anything. If I'm going to play it I think it's obviously going to be a cap - no need to let anyone else into the pot.

I'm not too worried about being dominated. In fact, I think I will dominating a weaker Ace(s) more often than not. A-high is the next best thing to a pair when going to a showdown, so I'm fine with it.

According to Pstove, ATo isn't looking too bad here at all. With the extra blind in and both other players being almost all in, I would think this would be a cap and not a fold. It is close.
