PRE - obviously we can raise bigger if our $30 open is getting 5 callers.
FLOP - do we have the Ah in our hand? I might be more inclined to check if we block the flush draws. What are the positions of our opponents? Did they all check to us, or do we have opponents behind?
It's a weird spot, because I'm not expecting anyone to show up with QQ or TT. Maybe someone has AQ or AT, or QT, but we'll often be up against KJ if a lot of money goes in. If everyone checked to us, I think I'd just c-bet small on such a connected and under-bluffed board. I don't hate just checking back.
The $100 c-bet is too big. No one can call with worse than 2P or a draw to the nuts.
TURN - again, I want to know if we have the Ah, and the position of our opponent. This board is just terrible for us to continue betting, when only a very strong hand or the NFD can call. Think I'd just check and pray the board pairs on the river.
- We do not have Ah in our hand
- We have all opponents behind us with regards to action
- How much would you c-bet?
