    Hi!

    MP is 31/16/3,1 AF 2,1 Cbet overall 41, Cbet-fold 75 over 394 hands. BTN I think is a weaker player with stats 41/14/3,4 AF 1,1 fold to cbet 58.

    I went for a c/rai thinking that MPs range should have many strong hands here and his cbet-fold stat is pretty high so far, BTN is indicating that he probably has a some kind of a middling hand and our BB defending range definitely has the most strong hands on this texture. In addition, we have plenty of equity against 2pair or wraps if we GII otf. How is this? If c/rai is fine, can we use any sizing that isn't a pot?

    Thanks!

    At these stakes I really tried to avoid making plays in multi-way pots like this. BTN can honestly be super strong here as it's not uncommon for players to just take one off with a set or be passive with 2p, but generally his range is weakened by taking a flat call line so his range is often like Qxxx, some SDs, and the odd KKxx. MP's range is supposed to be the strongest, although his stats say that he could otherwise have a wide enough b/f range otf to consider x/r so with these things combined it could make sense to x/r, especially when it puts MP in a really tough spot with his marginal hands/ draws and we can better define BTN's range if MP folds and BTN calls but honestly I'd like to see a call here and play some turns. Up to you depending how confident you are playing potential turn cards OOP.

    I don't like GII otf due to SPR and the range that wants to stack off with us at this SPR is doing much better than our hand is. As for sizing, you could probably raise smaller, like to $15-16 since it would accomplish the same FE against weaker/ capped ranges by threatening their stacks and we also buy ourselves a better price on this bluff/ semi-bluff x/r.
