No info on BB.
Pretty standard, I think, until the turn. My betsizes are ok, I think, considering there's not much to protect from OTF and OTT I block part of what I want to protect from.
Villain betsize got me confused. I can only see sets and T9 playing like that. Thoughts?

you are 3 way w a very mediocre hand. so you have to check flop and turn. you do not accomplish anything w your bets. you are only making it easier for villains to take the pot away.

your turn betsize is wrong. there are 3 coordinated cards. so there is no way you can make a rangebet here. you have to check or to bet big w a small portion of your range.

2 pair could play the same way, but villain raising on that card into 2 doesn't look weak. I'd fold here.
Even though in some spots I opt for a smaller bet I am still not a fan, I feel it induces raising, but I'm at 2NL and everything gets raised and from what I've seen the higher up you go smaller bets are the norm. Anyone else feel the same way?

With the straight blocker I wouldn't mind a smaller sizing. Multi way betting is always stroner than against 1 villain, but I don't think villain would change a hand in to a bluff. Folding turn seems pretty standard.
