Pocket Ladies v all-in

Get near pot bets on but flop and turn. Would make this hand much easier to play. Remeber, mistakes early make decisions harder later.

Preflop raise should be to around 4xBB + 1 per limper. You have 3 limpers here - so the raise needs to be around $3.50 (strictly, $3 as you already have £0.25 in the pot, but bump it up as you do not want 3-4 callers).

Lead for at least 80% of the pot on the flop. Lead full pot on the turn if anyone's still with you. This does 2 things. It denies UTG the implied odds to hit his draw, because this puts him AI. It also doesn't make it look like you have no hand - these bet sizes are basically begging him to come over the top with any kind of hand because it looks like he has a lot of fold equity against you.

Unless you've got $1000 to burn learning basic NLHE, I would move down a level or two. That turn bet speaks volumes.
