Hey!
Did everyone check to you on the flop?
The thing is, hardly any card improves you, or more likely improves others.
I would definitely fold if someone bet before. If everyone checked, it depends on their style. In live games people are very unbalanced, some trap too much, others give up when they check.
I think it's close.
close eyes and check
Tough spot but the very low SPR simplifies things a bit. Potting isn't bad but I think checking is better.
If you check and MP makes a decent size bet then fold since he is betting into two people and should be strong. It's a clear fold if MP bets pot or near pot and the CO calls or raises. You are beat in at least one spot with little chance to improve.
If you check and MP checks and CO bets it's close but I'd jam all in hoping to get head up with what may be a draw. If you're behind to let's say two pair or a set you still have a bit of equity (spiking an ace or making a running wheel).
If it gets checked through bet any turn that contains an ace, four, deuce, three or five. Perhaps bet a king also (even though it completes a straight for someone holding a queen/jack - I think a queen/jack is unlikely since that combo would bet most of the time on this flop.
Generically if you check the flop and the bet comes from a nit then fold. If the bet comes from an action player or aggressive player (and the other opponent folds or has checked) then jam all in. Overall it seems to be pretty close here. Deep stacked it's when the weaker players lose too much money.
Definitely jam - checking is really bad imo. There's very few TT,T9,55 combos relative to their calling ranges - we also have a hand that's usually the best hand on this flop but extremely vulnerable. I think there's also a chance to get value specifically from the CO if he has KK/QQ and will call it off.

I am sorry but there is a near zero chance KK/QQ is calling off here, unless they have a hand like KKQJ, which is a terrible hand to go up against anyway. His AA is pretty much face up if he pots the flop. You also have an apparent $10 caller --> $100 cold call coming back to him in MP, which this flop smacks in the face most of the time.
It does depend on stack sizes as any pair with some sort of draw is calling with a low SPR against his perceived AA. Checking sucks, betting sucks, it all sucks for OP lol. If OP and villains are all fairly deep, this is a check back pretty much giving up the pot or hoping for a miracle A turn. If villains are fairly short, I guess you have to pot it.
Pretty crappy spot for OP.

there's definitely some non zero chance KK calls off here in a live 1/2/5 game - this is low stakes plo. Either way with an SPR of 1 jamming is the best of the scenarios - certainly not a home run but there's not that many combos of 2 pair/sets relative to their calling range. Really if you're going to check this flop why even 4bet preflop? This is a marginal AA combo that rarely flops well - this texture is one of the better flops we're going to see so I think you're losing money 4betting and checking down here.
360 in the pot with 390 behind .. Pretty much gotta go for it IMO. It is what it looks like, AAxx, or you smashed the 9T portion of the Flop. Either way I'm not a big fan of free cards at this SPR. If there are any JJ-KK holdings I'm going to make them pay and/or there should be enough equity to try and suck out V 9Txx.
Aces should be 'live' since they don't make a straight right now. (Let's go 4r .. one time!) GL

If you play in live PLO games where ppl are calling down a 4b preflop hand with naked KK/QQ hands on this flop, please tell me where this game is so I can be there tomorrow lol. I get the 'why even 4b preflop' take and agree, but your 4b is to squeeze and get this HU. Now that the a $10/$100 caller comes along, I think that changes things a bit. I think the SPR is too low that you probably have to pot it, so I agree, but I hate having to do it and I don't think this is one of the better flops you can see with this hand. Other than face cards, I don't like the 10 9 combo at all. This is an average flop at best for this hand. Any non 3 card str8/flush below a 9 and even TT5/995 is much more ideal.
i am not sure this hand is an automatic 3bet this deep
it is more a hand to setmine - it doesn't flop good if deep

If we get this hand hu with co pot will be around 250 and we will have under 400 left creating easy stack off spots. We are taking a pure set mine and converting it into an equity bomb.
The cold caller in between is unexpected and makes stacking off on this board less appealing.
Result: I potted and mp called. We ran it twice boards:
T95 6 4 (straight)
T95 9 2 (aces up)
We show and scoop.
Nice result. Was villains hand somewhat wrapped around the T9?
I saw results, but that's exactly what I do (including winning both boards 😉 ).
Spr 1 just rip it in, we take it down a bunch and there’s a bunch of hands that can call off that we have pretty good equity against.
