Kind of a weak play on my part. I bet the flop with 2nd pair, then the turn was so cheap I decided to call (Why did I do this multiway? ) Then river I hit 2p and he makes a huge bet. Bleh I think it is an easy fold here but I want to hear what you guys think.

Flop: ($0.27) 5 J T (3 players)
Hero bets $0.20, MP calls $0.20, BTN calls $0.20

Turn: ($0.87) 6 (3 players)
Hero checks, MP checks, BTN bets $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, MP calls $0.25

Hi, Chowchow12,
Disclaimer: I am NOT a coach!;

I have a stab at 2nd pair, OTF as a matter of course -- so wp there.

Check villains stack sizes -- they are playing on a whole different field than you are.

OTR you're being asked to call a 3/4 pot size bet with a board that could easily have a host of made hands.

For myself, I'm going to hang on to those chips for a better spot.

In this situation, given the players involved, I likely fold the turn.

Cheers,
VS

No offence but with a post flop game like that you shouldn`t open T9s UTG, especially on nanostakes.

I would fold the turn. What are you hoping to come on river that will help you?

Well with no constructive component to this comment you're just trolling. I mentioned I was tilted and it was a weak play, but I get it is fun to beat dead things with a stick.

You are right I wasn't thinking more than one street ahead.

You have to be really good to open 910s UTG profitably. I would not bother until at least Nl25, that`s what i meant, you can crush Nl2 sticking to tighter ranges + they would play way easier and more agro in situations like that

Am I the only one who doesn't like cbetting the flop here? I believe it will be just one bet and I don't expect to have enough fold equity on that board muli-way and I don't expect to realize our equity by the river often enough.

You are not the only one to dislike c-betting. I think you stated your argument pretty well, if you had added the word 'playability' into it I think it could have been even better :f_love:

Fold preflop's fine when you are starting out + raise in MP. Raise when you get some experience.

As flop is three way you can just check and fold.

As part of the beginner strategy we tell you to cbet and fold weak hands on the flop when you are facing one opponent, here you are facing two so you should just check and fold the flop - one of them is very likely to hold a spade and you are out of position on both, so you are taking the pot down very infrequently here. As played you can just fold the turn
