AA 3bet then all low flop

Pre-flop I would 3 bet bigger for value. I make it 1,8k with a raiser and caller in the hand.
Than you can shove the flop if MP2 only called.

As played I would bet 1k and shipped the turn if he called, because now you’re committing yourself to the pot and if you bet so small he could try to bluff here.

+1

Was there specific reason in your mind to 3bet with that small size?

Don't 3 bet that small into multiple villains with the nut preflop hand, you're just asking for trouble and to get stacked by trips or a strong draw. You're giving them a perfect chance to call with even low pairs. You want to 3 bet bigger to first of all filter out the field a bit and end up facing just one villain instead of dispersing your equity (vs. one villain you have minimum 80/20 preflop equity vs. three you'll be down to between 60 and 70), and second of all, by 3 betting adequately you'll probably only end up facing hands you're dominating like KK-1010 and AK-AJs, against this range of hands you're going in with an average equity above 85%).

I think I 3 bet a bit smaller than normal beacuse I wanted to keep at least one villian in the pot and plus (and I now think this is the wrong thing to do at low stakes) I have been watching lots of poker pros recently and they all bet smaller so i was experimenting a little to see what would happen, but in the last few days I have abandoned that idea and gone back to at least 3X pre and +1X for every additional caller

This kind of play you want to experiment works most likely better against good players, but I expect in a random $3 tournament on 888Poker it’s better to attract more value with a higher sizing.

Now early on I just play v tight predictable nitty poker and it is still profitable
