CO seems to be ok player, little too loose pf. I'm not sure what this min-reraise means. Her estimated range: big pair or AK. I'm not sure about AQ, TT, JJ. My image: CO probably thinks I'm a TAG. Although I have tilted some chips away in other sessions so I might also seem a bit mentally unstable. BB is the fish.

HAND
Texas Hold'em NL $0.10/$0.20
Seat 1: BTN ($18.90 in chips) DEALER
Seat 3: SB ($19.80 in chips)
Seat 6: BB ($12.85 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero ($30.05 in chips)
Seat 10: CO ($63.15 in chips)
SB: Post SB $0.10
BB: Post BB $0.20

HOLE CARDS

PRE-FLOP
Hero: Raise $0.80
CO: Raise $1.40
BTN: Fold
SB: Fold
BB: Call $1.20
Hero: Call $0.60

FLOP 10/images/graemlins/heart.gif 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif (pot $4.30)
BB: Check
Hero: Check
CO: Bet $3.00
BB: Allin $11.45
Hero: Allin $28.65
CO: Fold

So flop is quite nice. CO is very likely to c-bet and last time BB folded to flop bet was: never. So this seems like a good place for a big c-r. Suddenly BB goes all-in. There is a FD on board so I decide to isolate the fish. We are also some what deep with CO so 3-way doesn't sound like a good idea. At the time this seemed like a good idea but then I started thinking. My plan only works if CO has A/images/graemlins/heart.gifK/images/graemlins/heart.gif or unlikely A/images/graemlins/heart.gifQ/images/graemlins/heart.gif. It's much more likely that she has over pair. If she has AKo, she won't call anyway. So should I have tried to trap CO by calling and then play for my stack on later streets? Did I miss some value here?

Bet flop. People don't cbet multi-way pots with nothing and you need to protect the flush + build a pot.

In a multi way pot, I'm always getting my money in ASAP with a big hand like top 2 pair or a set. Always.
