I usually play 4bet only, on the btn however, i think it's reasonable to play some coldcalls. Flop is close, but with I lean more towards a call. 3way on the Q turn my showdownvalue should be highly reduced. Should I've turned that into a bluff and blast turn & river? I chicked out because it should be pretty hard to get them off some toppair. What do you think?

Any stats on the first two? I guess at 2nl CC on button is ok. Typically this is something you'd want to fold/4-bet w/ an UTG open and +1 3-bet. As played, flop is a fold. You're MW w/ two UTG players, one of them betting into 2 people. And no, I wouldn't blast the river. That would be a pretty bad bluff at this point after the turn action.


Terrible idea to bluff into two players in 3bp with an A and Q on board. Even if there was only an A on board I wouldn't do it. It is very likely one of them is in check/call mode with AT\AJ, sometimes even AK.

You are here to setmine. It's a fold on flop as you are sandwiched between UTG and UTG+1. If UTG c/raises here, you just spewed away 14bb.

If you could close the action on flop by calling, it's OKish to call, but only to"further" setmine. You have ~4,5% to hit on turn, 8,5 to hit until river. Stacks are deep so implied odds is decent enough. If you don't hit, avoid fancy play syndrome and check it back\fold to aggression.


This is fold pre unless UTG is some super fish. UGT+1 3bets pretty much only bigger pairs then TT or 2cards bigger then Tx and paying 13bb is too much to setmine esp 200bb deep in spot where if you get in set over set spot you hold the weaker one every time.
Flop is an easy fold
