I realize c-betting that flop is kind of dubious vs. two opponents, one of them very likely to have a low/mid pair. Checking the turn to induce betting from a mid pair. The river: My reason for pushing is to represent missed overs and get action from that same mid PP. Since I didn't bet the turn queen, I'm really not looking like anything that hit the board. The river being a 3 is IMO perfect for that play.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I think it's fine, though I'll occasionally fire out a weak (about 350) turn bet trying to induce action from 88-JJ. My flop bets are usually closer to 3/4 than 1/2, but that's okay.

Against 2 opponents and without position you really need to check this flop. You are getting called by all types of mid pairs and are completely screwed if BB came in w/A7s.

The turn check is OK, followed by a more modest value bet on the river.

i would have liked the check on the flop because i feel like the buttons call could very well be a pp here that he pushes. as played i would have bet the turn also. only hand to be afraid of now that even remotely makes sense for them to have would be 22, 77, A7(dont make much sense given the pf raise), and its possible that they would slowplay AA or KK this way but unlikely with no raise on the flop. i dont think i can get away from this now and i bet 600 or so on the turn and call a push. i dont feel there is a reason to push the turn because if we are ahead(which we prolly are) we are way ahead with villain drawing to 2 or 3 outs, unless he picked up the club draw on the turn, and this would be a good spot to get some value.
