First hand at the table.

I think those spots suck.
I couldnt thin the field preflop. I flop TPGK on a rainbow board.
How do I proceed if I get called?

Re: Stupid spot
 

Raise more out of blinds I make from 2-2.5 depends on a table, here I usualy b/f the turn - depends on villian(s) stack size and the turn card e.g. if a Ks hits I might check call.

Re: Stupid spot
 

If you get called in one spot I would shut it down and either check or block turn. If you get called in two spots I would be done w/ the hand completely. Your lead is good IMO

Re: Stupid spot
 

Board is fairly dry so flop bet size looks good. I would prob lead 1/2 - 3/4 pot on turn for pretty much every card I think. If you get called this will always almost be a weaker ace that donks love to limp/call PF.

Re: Stupid spot
 

b/f turn if called on flop.

Re: Stupid spot
 

you can't really bet fold the turn against UTG or BTN, and maybe not really against cutoff. IF I get one call I'm not really sure, I probably would end up betting it but that may not be very good don't really ee what we are beating that would call.

Re: Stupid spot
 

Depends on who calls. If it's UTG, I bet again, putting him on like KQ, or a weak A. I'd have to call a shove from him since he's a short stack, and he also is a donk (posted UTG)

I don't think I could put CO or BTN on a stronger A (AK or AQ), since they limped behind preflop. The most likely hand then they have that has you beaten is 44. If I get called, the turn is interesting. The pot would be 16, and you'd have 18.75 behind, so b/f is not an option. If the turn is a K, 10, or 9, I'd check, but if it's a J or any lower card, I'd bet like 11 and call a shove.

c/fold turn?
