I wouldnt raise so much this early on. t100 at most. Also, that c-bet has now committed 40% of your stack into 2 opponents with A-high (not what youd like to be doing).

I would raise to t100 PF. And possiblt Cbet for t175 with 2 opponents, and for sure do it with 1. Also, as played I would check behind because the pot is too big to risk a c-bet being called.

I hate the flop bet. You're betting what I'm assuming is half your stack into 2 people where mid-pocket pairs is a very realistic possibility. You also raised a little much preflop. Mixing it up and just calling preflop is fine as well.

I was just going by the "3x BB plus 2x limpers" rule for the pf raise, but you're right, it was a bit much.

Either the converter is screwed but the blinds are 10/20. Thus you raised 10 BB

With limpers in front Im flat calling here at level 1. At this buyin they will call your raise with any garbage. You get payed off handsomely when u hit. When you miss your stack is still in tact.
