1/2 at Horseshoe Hammond at around 1 PM on a Saturday. Hero is mid/late 20s white guy at ~320 from 200 having only played one significant pot. My first hand at the table I posted in the CO, went to a flop 5 ways for $7 each with KQhh, raised a c-bet on QT9hh, got called in two spots, shoved a 9d turn and took it down. Otherwise I've been folding a whole lot and have picked up maybe one or two other small pots.

V1 is an Asian guy about my age playing ~600. Seems like he's been in the room all night. Hasn't been playing a lot of pots either and seems pretty wrapped up in watching Netflix on his tablet.

V2 is a white guy a little older than me who was at about 1K when I sat down and has bled down to ~550. He also seems like he's been there for a while, and has been calling pre flop raises in position with nearly any two vaguely connected cards. I've seen him show down 93s and 84s in raised pots, for example.

Two limpers ahead of Hero who raises AcTs to 12. V2 flats the button, V1 calls from the BB, and one of the limpers calls.

Flop (46):

Checks to Hero who bets 35. V2 calls, V1 calls, third player folds.

Turn (151):

8h

Checks to Hero who...

What was the purpose of the flop bet? You don't beat many made hands on that flop, if it was to charge draws I like the sizing and you need to do the same ott. If it were for a different reason the turn might not be a bet.

100% value and charging. Villains can have 77 and 99 I guess, but I would expect a 3 bet pre from either (or at least V2) with 99, and definitely all the better aces except MAYBE AJo. Honestly, my only concern about a better ace was the random interloper who was dolty enough to maybe have AJ+.

You're ahead here a lot in this spot. I cant see any of your opponents sticking around on the flop with a gutshot so Im not worried about the strait. Same with two pairs. Anyone who hit two-pair wouldn't be checking the turn. You could possibly get a fold from AJ, but even if not you have a ton of equity in the hand to either take the lead or chop the river.
Bet to 90.

Then I just bet again ott to charge draws. It's tough to charge the last caller in a 3-way pot, but betting something is better than giving a free card even if that bet doesn't exactly price V out. B/f ~$100.

Bet, only really worrying about JT and A9 or J6 and 65 from V2, if you run into a bigger ace, that sucks but may have seen a raise from those kinda hands pre. Pot is so big that you really shouldn't fear a raise from anything except sets and you could even shove if you're scared of a bunch of rivers that suck.
