Dang, here's something I agree with aces about. It is gross indeed that hero would not call less than 10% of his stack with AQQJ. This is the epitome of weak-tightness. Now I don't think he should have then made a subsequent call of another reraise for his whole stack as would have been necessary in the hand to see the flop, but failing to make that first call is an error. I would even call 20% of my stack preflop with it, and if a player is not willing to, then he can never be a big winner in plo.

i'd call the $16, but it looks like MP2 and MP3 were having a dick measuring contest and if he had an idea they would reraise like that i'd fold too

But if he knew they would be raising then he should know they are both maniacs and call the reraise and the all in. He either knows they are maniacs and should call the $16 or he doesn't know and he should call the $16. I guess if he knows the first is a maniac and thinks the second player is solid and would only reraise with a big hand then he should maybe fold figuring this would be an all in preflop situation. You may say this is not a hand you want to gamble with 3 way, but I think that is nonsense. This is a cash game not a tournament. If you sit at a game you should have the bankroll to make the +EV plays when they come up. Getting all in preflop with a very nice hand like this multiway when the other players are known maniacs or morons is going to be the better play than limp folding by far. If he couldn't stand action, then why limp in front of 2 maniacs (neither have particularly strong hands so I figure their maniacs nature must have been known before this hand came up).

Once in a while, even maniacs show up with aces.

i think with the way the action is going you can assume at least one player has a pair bigger than JJ and another player has an A. against that you are a dog 3way and just about even 4way

Joe, even with maniacs to act behind you, that hand you had was a premo and there is simply no excuse for not calling the $16, although like I said I would then fold to another reraise rather than shove my stack even getting 2-1 or more on my money. But that hand can make top set, a nut straight and a nut flush (even with 3 hearts in your hand), which is the exact type of hand you can double or triple up off those kinds of players when you get to see the flop. If I played at the levels you do and knew you played that weak-tight, I would insure you never saw a flop when I had position on you and you didn't have AA/KK.

And regarding maniacs showing up occasionally with AA, they are in fact more likely in any such situation to be overplaying something like AQT8ds, and would blow their stack to you in an instant with top pair only in a raised pot when you flop a set or a monster draw.

Where did you get your numbers? Some of the worse (albeit none of the ones where you are totally crippled) combinations I checked 3 way has you down at most 2% (at a 31% winner) in equity and often you where the favorite (against KK and QQ totally dry you are 41% to win and have the most equity). However, look at the hands they showed up with. These players range of hands is much broader than bigger pairs if they show up even once with this type of trash. They must have been total maniacs, and against the range of hands they are likely to have I would gladly play AQJJ with 3 to a suit for all my money.
