  • In hindsight, I feel I should've sized up on the flop, maybe pot?
  • I feel okay about the check and call on turn and river. Thoughts?

No. Playing multi-way a small cbet or a check is usually correct. Larger sizings will only fold out lesser hands, like the flush draw that I’m assuming villain had. In this spot a small cbet is probably fine. You will get some calls from flush draws and weaker aces. You might get raised by 8x hands, which allows you to get away with minimal loss.


Flop is fine, but I'm still betting turn vs this kind of opponent. Maybe even raising river. These guys are fish that will have tons of worse Ax and put too much money in the pot.


Curious, why are you thinking about potting the flop here?


We have the best hand on the river pretty much always. I like clicking back.
