Preflop

Get two people to limp in before flop, bet 6BB (4BB + 1 BB for each limper) Seems pretty standard.

Post Flop

I flop two pair however it is a very draw heavy board and I got two callers. I bet pot size for maximum protection. Fish calls and turn shows safe card. This is where I start to get confused. Do I want to check turn for pot control or should I be betting for value? What does a a call from this type of player actually mean? I don't have too many hands on him but he does seem to be pretty terrible.

I decide to bet 50% pot, I'm not sure why I did though. Would 70% be better if I decide to bet? At this point I see myself pot committed to the pot so when he puts me all-in I call.

I think putting villain on this range is fairly reasonable.

Board: AhQsJc3d
Equity Win Tie

MP3 44.26% 40.75% 3.51% { JJ+, AJs+, KTs, JTs, AJo+, KTo, JTo }

Seems to me like turn is a sure call.

Any feedback on hand or my thought process would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello,

Preflop isolating is good.

I'd bet around 15bb on the flop.
Betting the pot is ok as long as you think they will be calling you.

On the turn I don't like your bet here.
You basically put 50% of your stack here, so I prefer just to shove here, or bet smaller.
When he pushesh we have an easy call. I'm never folding my two pair here.

Best,
Plamen
