Default Bet sizing - live 1/2 with aces played face up

Live game 8-handed 1/2 PLO. I've got about $500 at a game where typically 80% of players see every flop. I'm the button w/AATJ, suited T. 4 limpers and a new player raises the pot to 15. He was a hold'em player who needed clarification on how much he could bet every time he wanted to bet, but otherwise didn't seem too clueless or too informed.

I repot to 60, and one limper calls, and original raiser thinks for a moment and flat calls. Flop is K38 rainbow, so I have a backdoor flush draw, and naked aces. Caller 1 has my 440 covered, the raise/caller has about 300 behind.


Checked to me. I have a gut feeling that the initial raiser has a pair of kings, but no tells beyond the preflop raise.

Is it worth taking a stab on this flop?

If so, what is an appropriate bet size? The initial caller had generally been nut peddling all evening.

You should probably bet 2/3 or so if you want to continuation bet. I would hope that your 3-bet range is wider than AAxx in late position.

bet what you would normally bet. if you think initial raiser will only raise you with kings, fold to his raise. otherwise stack off.

multi tabling online i just pot this, but live i dont mind a check here. its suprising how when you play live your 'gut' is right, so checking and trying to improve seems slightly better as turn cards dont hurt you in this spot, they can only improve your hand
