Hi,

Villains

MP2: unknown
MP3: 11/5/2.6 785h

PF: Raise for value

F: I've no value in betting, so my intention was to c/c

T: I think that the reg shoud have overpairs, but i'm thinking why did he not raise them on the flop. he can have FD as well

The recreative player can have from sets to 8x.

Even with the possibility that the reg has a higher flush dar, I think that we can call here and another bet if the flush hits.

What do you think?

Thanks

Flop: I don't think you should be thinking about value at this point in time. You have a draw, so you should ask yourself whether you have any fold equity or not. OR whether you can bet Flop and barrel Turn/River.

With 3 players in the hand, I think it's close between check-call and bet. If the board was something like A82 with 2 spades, I would much prefer betting. Here on a lower board your fold equity is probably lower but either option is probably fine.

Turn: After playing it passively, check-call again is fine especially when the bet is so small and you are getting great odds with 2 other players putting in half pot bets.

Conclusion: Think about how often you get folds either on Flop or Turn. If you think you can barrel them out of the hand, betting is always going to be a good option. Look at their Fold to Flop Cbet and Turn cbet stats, and also the WTSD to guess their folding frequencies.
