AJs at the early stage of a 1$ SnG - What do you think of this hand?

I wouldn't check on the made flush — but then I almost never slow-play anything.
When the deuce pairs, suddenly the nut flush doesn't look so nutty.
When the 4th club comes along, and you unblock the K♣: I think calling in a $1 is OK, but I would call but I would prepare myself to see UTG turn over a pair of 3s 🤮😭

Thank you, Vorpal. Those were my thoughts. But paired board? Well....
As Villains in those limits love to play ANY suiteds, I was expecting a bet in this multiway pot. That´s why I x-ed flop. Furthermore, I do not have a bluffing range here, in a multiway pot.

So what's the logic for not c-betting? No bluffs in your range, got it, but at the same time you're expecting someone to bet (with a made flush, since they call with any suited cards). What's your response? Check\raise of flat call? If it's check/raise, then there are even fewer bluffs in your range. If you're check/calling, hoping that someone with a flush will bet, then you're losing money. And you've got loads of hands to get value from - decent clubs, Qx, 6x . Also, you're playing $1s. Who cares that you're unbalanced. Regs on $1s are fish.

Against 3 villains you don't need to Cbet to much to get value with the nuts and get it in on the river.
Normally I would bet the river as well. Off course the change you get value will be limited on a 4 cards of a flush on the board and if you would face a shove I would stack off.

I was pretty much worried about the paired board, with 4 people in the pot.
And my plan was to x/c, x/c, x/r all-in. But the paired board made me worry big time. The turn-bet was stupid.

Not sure why you checking the flop. Especially multi way you want to build up the pot and try to get it in if people hits the board big as well.

Because I have no bluffing range here and I x in the hope that a Villain would bet and I could x/c, x/r or something like that. The turn was terrible!

You dont need a bluffing range on these stakes in mway pots. Dont overthink just bet for value. If he has a FH so be it. You loose to much value if you play different. Sdk is correct.

Okay, at those limits I can really play a bit more straight forward. Good to know that this is a terribly misplayed hand (but I just come back from PLO, so I give myself a little reprieve :f_ugly::f_biggrin: )
