Player 3 goes all-in for 900

Player 3 posts 100
hero post 200
player 1 raises for 600
2 folds
Hero calls with Ad 9h

Flop = Jh 4h 3d Pot = 1300

Reads = Player 1 has been using his big stack extremely well playing aggressively.
player 2 has been sitting tight waiting to double up which he did between hand 2 and 3.

Players 2 and 3 have both been stealing my blinds savagely.

Player 3 is a very good solid player.

Any comments on any of these hands?

Hands 1 and 2 are clearly correct. I don't like hand number 3, though. A9 isn't that much ahead of any range, and even if villain is playing aggressively they probably aren't raising with complete air here. I don't think it's likely that villain will fold to your flop push. Fold preflop.

hand 1 is fine IMO - this is a pretty top heavy payout structure and eliminating the short stack is very advantageous to you.

As for hand 2, your read is that he is very good and solid - KQ is prob above his range given that it is probably quite wide right now...I could see a fold here, but this hand is prob playable.

On #2, why did you call and not push? what would you do if the big stack pushed?

hand 3 I am not a big fan of. I would fold PF. if I hadn't raised in awhile I might push, but there is a pretty good chance given the raiser's stack size and po odds that yu would get a call anyway. I hate MRes from big stacks, I fold this and wait for a hand to push into othe blinds w/
