Iso bigger, cbet flop
Posted 8 years ago
Pre: Perfect, standard iso size here IP is 4x so I wouldn't change anything here.

Flop: We have a lot of blockers to Kx here so I would be firing a C-bet on this board for sure, the fact that we are betting here multiway should get us a lot more respect and we can fold out a decent amount of underpairs successfully quite often.

Turn: I like betting here, I would go slightly larger though for sure. I think in the region of .15 would be about right. We can get called by worse Qx, hands like TJ that have picked up an open ender, even hands like AT/AJ may call with their gutshot plus over card to the board and I don't think we are going to see many Kx after flop has checked though.

River: River is definitely close, I thin my preference here is to go for a check call but I definitely don't mind betting here either. I like your sizing here more than I do the turn as we are really just trying to eek out a little extra value from hands that can make a crying call.

I feel like flop can go either way and I wouldn't call it a mandatory cbet against two players.

As played, I really like your line. It's a close thin value bet but your hand is kinda underrepresented and I'm sure 27/7 villain can find enough hands in his calling range for this bet to be profitable.

I do like a flop cbet here. It's unlikely that you can check down A-high to win against 2 players unless they're super passive so the fact you have a bit of showdown value (unimproved) here is close to negligible. So when looking for hands to bluff on this type of board you should look to hands that can either turn nice draws, such as Td9d of hands with overcards (in this case, 1 overcard) since those can improve to better pairs. AQ seems to fit pretty well into the 2nd category. It's also such a dry flop that you should get a decent amount of folds regardless.

As played, the first bet seems nice. The 2nd seems a little thin but will probably be good. It's hard for villain to have better unless he rivered either AJ or QT.

I wouldn't be c betting here multiway OOP.

As played I like the idea to go for thin value twice. It's unlikely anybody has Kx.The limper can still call with any showdown value, and the BB could call the turn with something like JT which now might call again.
