BB checks, ?

My image is 20/17 - winning most of my pots. Both villains are capable of semi-bluffing.

As much as i hate to say it, x/f.
There's a bunch of Ax in there range, we are giving up on any turn except for the K and villains can put all kinds of pressure on us with a large part of their range, which we cant stand.

It's far from +chipEV and very exploitable, but this close to the money i'm willing to sacrifice it in sake of preserving stack for the post bubble bustout bonanza.

Nah man, I would either cbet/fold otf, or else check through and plan to call a bet on the turn if the turn isn't a club.

BB's range is wider than any other caller's range would be. I'm sure you know that if you cbet 1/2 pot then it only needs to work 1/3 of the time. There is no way that he's folding less than 1/3 hands to your cbet. So that is printing money.

I also like checking through flop, but you need to have good reactions on the turn to do it. If turn is a club and he bets, you fold. If it's a club and he checks then you check. If it's not a club and he checks then you bet (for value), and if it's not a club and he bets then you call.

Considering we have about 20BBs, I would c/f on the stone cold bubble. No point barreling into passive stations on such a wet board.

Check and make decisions on the turn if mp checks too. Prob call a turn lead from bb and fold to mp stab

looks like a thin/high variance spot otf, at this stack depth I would proly c/f I think cbetting is much more reasonable if we were deeper

check it back, call turn on reasonable card probably fold river if he continues.

I doubt a cbet gets many folds, and both villains have way bigger stacks than us. I would x/f flop.

we're not last to act.

hm wished Mp+1 would of 3 bet to get rid of whatever the BB might be holding, its seems by calling pf he might not even have an ace, but usually when i go on that assumption, im wrong lol. But Mp+1 seems somewhat passive but with that board, your gonna be called by a lot of stuff now if you bet (since i wouldnt be sure if an MP+1 bet would be a float or a value bet), but id take a stab here instead of OTT and the just CHeck/fold to any future action

Open shove
