Re: (3.30) early top pair
In a 3.30 Top Pair top kicker (TPTK) should be played like the nuts.
In a multiway pot things are a bit different, but IMO you should raise more on the flop and bet bigger on the turn. They pay you off anyway. The check on the river is ok, although i prolly push, because i never 2nd guess myself in a 3.30. If he slowplayed a monster, well then he can have my stack. |

Raise more on the flop.
I check behind on the river as AK / AJ are a big part of his range, imo. |

Re: (3.30) early top pair
It may be a leak, but I bet this river at 3.3 almost 100% of the time. When you get called, I think you win a lot more than 50% of the time, enough to make this a value bet.

Re: (3.30) early top pair
I really dislike calling pf. AQo isn't a good multiway hand, if you want to play it you should be raising especially when you are on the button to thin the field. Then when you hit this flop its very easy to play.
As played I would say bet bigger on the flop, but I don't know that I like continuing with big bets after that. I'm not really basing this on $3.30s though because I never played them. |

Re: (3.30) early top pair
I check behind river. I'm not a fan of the pf either.
