Quite common situation in a small pot

[Apanage]

Both players Tag:s close to nits.
Is betting out better since we are preventing an eventual button steel. If we bet out and get called how do we play turn against one remaining player.
As played are anyone calling or checkraising flop?

looks fine. a nit limp range hits this flop hard

I raise preflop and fold A2-A5o and raise all Axs, I dont like to play 3way pots OOP with bad aces.

Postflop looks fine

You do realize that A5o is a better hand than A6o right? If i understand your post correctly you raise A6o and fold A5o and it sounds like you do it regardless of BB and the limper. That is a pretty poor strategy - no offense.


@ Apanage

You post hands like this every once in a while and I tell you not to fold and we agree on disagreeing. I would c/r CO's "c-bet" and take it from there. IMO: r ~ c &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&g t;&gt; f in that spot.

Well maybe I should listen to you OINK.A checkraise definitely has some value.
We get harder to read when we checkraise our big hands. We can have the best hand. And we can fold out better hands representing hands we don´t have on turn. We also have outs to improve.
But then again it is a small pot and a relatively large investment.

Which is why I like calling as well. You dont have a lot to protect and the third guy folds a lot anyways. I will often c/c c/f in this spot

Huh?

[Apanage]

Sorry to say Oink but given we get HU with our isolation bet A6o is a better hand strictly equity wise.
But I have also read that A5o wins more than A6o in multiway pots because of the straight potential.
And i do think A5o have the potential to win more HU also since we can semi-bluff more and win larger pots than with A6o.Which if true also points out that pokerstoving isn´t the answer in many cases.

[Oink]

Claiming that A5o &gt; A6o is obviously controversial but the stuff that Apanage mentions is pretty much the reason why A5 and A6 is pretty close in value. Raising A6o and folding A5o is pretty silly!

It seems like a bad flop to bet out of position against a bunch of limpers. This is a flop that's going to hit a lot of their range and you'll just be left with the same decision on the turn a lot. If you notice that he always bets in position after he limps, then use that later when you have a stronger hand.
