Hero ?? Obv never folding here, and I assume we're always raising, though I'll listen to arguments for a flat. Interested in sizing and thoughts on if re-raised.
I really don't like the flop c-bet. Yes, the flop is somewhat dry (although someone holding T9 wouldn't think so) and we have small showdown value. But it is a multiway pot, we are out of position, and we would be firing a second barrel with only a few turn cards. I think we should check here, and fold if BTN takes a stab.
As played on flop, I would certainly fire again on this turn if one of the two villains had dropped out, but with them both here this is a good check.
On the river, a raise may well be good here. MAWG's stab is small enough to be some kind of blocker bet, such as from AX, maybe even AT or A8. I would not raise large, maybe something on the order of $50 to $100, folding to a reraise from BTN.
I think the preflop sizing is just fine, by the way.
