Table is fairly active. Raises to 15 are typically getting 4 or 5 callers.

Villain 1, (700) raised vs villain 1, got heads up. I cbet a 983 flop with ace high. He floated with 56, no flush draw and hit on turn. Checked down, he won.

Villain 2, (270) Villain 2 took a decent sized pot after i c bet a flop of 10 3 3 with TPTK. 4 on the turn gave him a boat with his 44 holding.

Three limpers to hero, hero raises to 20 with As Kh on button. Villain 1 calls in SB, villain 2 calls in BB, three limpers all call.

Flop (120) Kc 7h 3h
Checks to hero on button. Hero bets 100.

I did this because I think flush draws will call this bet and I'm ahead of everything except sets. Villain 2 will call with any K. Sizing?

Villain 1 and 2 call, the rest fold. Villain 2 does not worry me but villain 1 could have a set and try to be bringing other villain along. I see him playing AK this way as well.

Turn (420) 10h
Checks to hero. I jam my last 200. Did I play this correctly?

If you think these villains will call with KQ/KJ/K9s its probably close but fine. Even if they have you beat with KT or a flush, you have 8 outs to the second nuts. It all depends on how often and how wide you think they call with worse hands.

Pre and flop look great.

Check back turn and try to bink a heart as almost always one of the two Vs has a set or flush or KT. Sometimes you are lucky and they both have Kx but if that's the case they are probably folding to your jam unless they have heart kicker. If river isn't a heart and one of them jams it's probably a fold.

Villain 2 will call with any Kx. Villain 1 was who I was worried about. I'm very confident he would have led out with flushes on the turn. So I think he's calling with AK,KQ and sets.

Well played. I play it the same way, except I might bet 80-90 on the flop. This might be fish logic on my part, but I've noticed in my own 1/3 and 2/5 games that when bets cross the $100 threshold, passive fishy players tend to take them more seriously. It may be irrelevant in this particular example since there are 5 other players in the hand, but we can bet either amount and still easily get it in on the turn.

I like your sizing pre and OTF.

The turn is a horrible card. I think one V likely has a FD (now completed) and the other a dominated K. The latter probably folds to a turn shove.

I check behind IP and hope a heart falls. I think I fold to a river bet as no worse hands will bet for value and either V is unlikely to bluff river 3-handed. Won't be many bluffs in their range anyway.

I hate checking it on the turn but I realized that it is pure spew to jam this spot.

Villain 1 called with AA. Villain 2 called with K7. Got all the money in bad. I suck at poker.

Both villains seems super passive. One guy was checking and calling oop eariler with 56 on a 983 flop and spiked his gut shot then checked it down. The other guy was checking and calling oop with 44 on TT3 and spiked a 4 OTT. You could probably make the case for checking behind OTT against these particular villians and folding to a sizable bet OTR if a heart doesn't come knowing that they would not be willing to make a sizable bet with anything less than one pair.

the guy that played K7 vs. a raise pf sucks at poker more. you didn't do too bad, it's a tad spewy but not terrible and both players showing up so strong was probably quite rare in this spot. glgl

Did AA at least have the A?

That's a decent board to call one bet with 44. If you snap fold 44 every time on a board like this, you should just fold pre.

What's worse limp calling k7o or flatting Aces in the blinds when pot is likely to go 5-6 way?

I definitely check back turn here hoping for a heart and probably fold to any decent sized river action.

Need much more info on Vs to decide if I shove this turn but most of the time 5 way I'm just trying to get to a cheap showdown with this turn card.

If they both check river too on say an offsuit deuce or something I might go for some thin value.
