3betting AQ

[djoe77]

Is the cbet a good idea in a 3bet, 3 way pot?
I suppose turn is snap call

Any reason why you 3bet that small?
Without any reads especially on Co I just c/f flop.

[djoe77]

Well, I kinda got the idea I should 3bet around 3x his raise..what should the proper amount be here?

Is calling the turn correct?

[TheDeKay]

As played it is really hard to fold on the turn, even though his line looks super strong. If you don't want to get it in, check behind...

Do you have any reads on UTG? It's important to figure out, if a 3bet or a call is better here preflop.
If you figure 3betting is fine, I would 3bet to like 0.65$-0.75$

[Nostalgica]

A bit more than 3x (about pot, add .5-1bb) is good preflop, more OOP (add 1-2bb).

You don't have to 3bet this preflop for one thing. Cbet is on the margin. Turn stack off is semi necessary considering pot odds.

what about this one?

Don't bet turn.

[podbelski]

On the 2nd hand - I'd rather cbet than bet turn. If I'm checking the flop it's like I'm giving up unless improved.

[TheDeKay]

What your thought process in the 2cond hand?

[AdrienD]

I think you need to give these 5NL players a bit more credit for a hand.

They are very very passive & very rarely bluff.
they also make a lot of silly slowplays and bet weak made hands just because they feel like it or because they think its the best hand and therefor they have to bet, etc.

You shouldn't be worried about getting bluffed. Besides, that is the main concern of 90% of players at this limit and thats why they consistently lose. They just keep calling down & think everyone is bluffing them way more often than they really are.
