PF: It was 7 handed, so I opened. Probably would've folded 9 handed.
F: I was not entirely focused on Villain's stack, most people had between 100-200bb to start the hand. In live 1/2, would a c-bet or double barrel work enough? From what I've read, people overvalue their hands a lot at live.
T: Kept checking my hand hoping that the Q would magically turn into an A. XD
I like your check otf 4 ways, unless you have players that are very tight, and stacks that sometimes allow for some big late street bluffs. If we had flopped one of our suit I would be much more inclined to cbet here.
Backdoor equity can be really huge in a spot like this, and also realizing that, if there is room to maneuver, (I. E. Someone is not so shallow that they get commited easily) we can sometimes easily Bluff every over card that hits the board, especially face cards.
Dont go too crazy w it, but look out for player types that are calling flop bets a lot, and then folding frequently when any manner of scare card hits. If you have a solid image these are exactly the types of players that we want to be cbet ting very wide against, because although we have a very low chance of getting a fold for our first bet, they have a very low chance of actually being able to make it to showdown if the board changes and we continue to apply pressure.
It's pretty golden to realize that all we're doing, betting early, in a spot like this is building up there dead money as they have a very low chance of improving and being able to actually realize any of their equity.
