[Rush17]

The preflop raise is fine in a shorthanded game--- a bit loose and OOP, but this isn't where you lose most of the value because against weak opponents who don't raise enough themselves, you can make up for it after the flop. And imo, that also includes surrendering, which is what I probably would've done somewhere between the flop~turn. The thing is, they're not folding, you know they're not folding, and you have to see that as an astute player.

I understand why you attempted the checkraise on the river because it definitely gives you the best chance to take half, but, from how I read the progression of the hand, the CR just doesn't line up with me. You're not going to CR a nut low against 2 opponents, and what high hand would you do that with, especially seeing that neither one of them ever raised you at any point during this hand(because most of the time when someone does CR, it's because their opponent(s) were playing back at them and they feel that a CR attempt will have a high success rate). So, the bottom line, for me anyway, is that I'm just not convinced, that's all. That said, at least you thought about ways to winning the hand on the end, so I couldn't fault you for that.
