PF I try to isolate the MP, thus betsize 5x is ok, but could even make it to 6x. Thoughts?
fold, MP raises to 4.4 BB, fold, BTN calls 4.4 BB, fold, Hero raises to 22 BB, MP calls 17.6 BB, BTN calls 17.6 BB
I didn't really want BTN to join, but there he is.
Flop: (67.4 BB, 3 players) 2♠ 3♣ T♠
Hero checks, MP checks, BTN checks
Missing flops with AK is like the story of my live. Against 2, holding only OC, with a midrange card on the board and spades draw, I don't think I have space for a CBet, as MP will not fold any pocket or anything that connected (even 72, yes I saw him call bottom pair w/out kicker on boards like this) and I kind of get in the expectative of BTN action. Do you think CBeting here is an option?
Turn: (67.4 BB, 3 players) J♣
Hero ?
This is actually a good turn for me, I think. It adds a lot of outs for Flush, 4 for str8 and the J is on my range. But I think it also interacts a lot with BTN range.
If I was HU vs MP, I would shove here, but I cannot neglect BTN and the main question is here:
Option 1: check/fold
Option 2: check/call. I don't like this, as any call OTT would likely commit with and leave no SPR to fold a brick on river.
Option 3: Bet 1/3pot. That would leave some space for a fold if raised and/or a fold river in case any of them calls and river bricks
Option 4: Shove.
Spoiler
In the moment, I went for option3. MP folded and BTN called. River bricked, I check/folded to BTN.
Later I went to review this hand and I think I had enough equity for the push, thus my question
Extra: How do you adapt to MP in general and how do you play in general MW spots like this, specially OOP (more aggro, less aggro, keep it the same)?
