No reads on the opponent. MP open, SB call, I call from BB. Flop SB leads 3/4 pot. My hand is kinda strong but I dont want to play for stacks that eagerly SPR 10 so I just call. MP folds.
Turn SB barrels 2/3 and on river he pots. I decided to fold because this feels extremely underbluffed spot. With opponent leading 3way and finding enough bluffs seems unlikely to me. Just wonder how other sees spot like this.
The question is: how probable is it that he does that with naked As?
Tactically, we should call with 2nd nuts, but in practice I'm not convinced players bluff Aces often enough even in HU pots, yet 3way. A solver will, so if he plays like a solver it certainly belongs in his range. Frequently people discover the hard way that solvers assume far more FE multiway flush boards than we actually encounter against typical opponents.
It's worth remembering that if the decision is truly marginal, over many instances it won't substantially change your results whichever option you pick.
My personal default here is to call, and I would only diverge from that with specific reads on the opponent. If you call with 2nd nuts, he has no way to exploit you. But if you fold 2nd nuts, he can.
