Re-raise more on the flop, ~$5.

I would bet this turn. The 7 is actually a very harmless card, and your hand still has a lot of value. Gotta charge the calling stations.

Ouch, that river definitely sucks. Probably the worst card in the deck. I think you have to check/fold here.

not trying to be mean so dont take it that way. You played this hand poorly. Most of the time I simply fold preflop here even in sb, but you didnt and that isnt a big deal imo. Your 3bet on the flop is gross, why even raise so little? Make it 5-7 range on such a draw heavy board. Then you check the turn?? After your minraise are you expecting them to bet for a checkraise or what, no clue what your thought process here is, the 7 changes practically nothing so I bet 8 or so to charge the draws and I am perfectly fine taking it down right there. Your river play is standard but it should have never gotten to that.

rough. dont minraise the flop. against 2 vilians push i think, on flop

[Capitan23]

Fold preflop, bet more on flop, raise more on flop. rest is fine.

Did you see the stack sizes? A push is excessive here.

OP: This has mostly been covered, but your 3-bet on the flop should be larger, you should bet the turn (you're still ahead of anything you beat on the flop), and as played you have to fold the river.

Reraise more on flop. As played, looks like you're good on the turn, push.

[kazana]

Not a fan of preflop, but it probably is playable.

On the flop, bet and reraise like you mean it. By that time at least one of the shorter stacks should be all in. Mission accomplished.
