Loose table. 9 handed. 9 pm weeknight

main Villains have only joined in the last 30-45 mins

Villain 1 is a younger guy 25-30 has been splashy...not an excellent player by any means but a seem a little dangerous.
Villain 2 is and older gentleman 60 but has been VERY ACTIVE overbetting flops with really weak holdings. Caught him leading $25 oop 5 way into a $10 limped pot Q97 with 33 aswell as $30 pre flop opens...havent seen him play any big raised pots yet

We're about $330 effective

Villain 2 Straddles UTG to $4
Folds to HERO OTB with KJ who makes it $15
Folds to Villain 1 in the BB calls
Villain 2 calls

Flop ($46) AJT
Chx to hero

Im just lost as if i should be c-betting here. Seems like a spot where im turning my made hand into a bluff. I mean should i just be blindly c-betting everything here or should i check back a hand like this. In retrospect keeping initiative would have possibly made for a better result. anyhow...

Hero checks

Turn ($46) AJT3

Villain 1 Leads $20
Villain 2 Calls $20
Hero Calls $20

My read is Villain 1 is capped at a pair of aces at this point and I feel im 100% ahead of villain 2

River ($106) AJT33

Villain 1 checks
Villain 2 Quick tosses $80 (3 greens and a red)

My gut here tells me that Villain 2 is bluffing a lot of the time here and with villain 1s check he is less likely to have an ace. With that read im willing to make the hero call. At that point even if V1 has a weak ace he might fold.

I'll update later with the result but really the flop is the street i have been having the most trouble with lately. Any advice would be appreciated.

Flop you should bet sometimes. It's a common situation that needs a little balance. I would aim for around 1 in 3, which is a lot for a multiway hand. You have second pair, very loose opponents and can get called by worse but you have two opponents so don't get carried away.

Turn is obvious call. Can't give up the best second pair to a single bet but V2 did call.

River is a live read. V2 could be bluffing. He could have a value hand with a weak AX or a 3X that backed into a strong hand. He could have a worse JX or a TX that figure they are good some of the time. Lots of possibilities without more history. Plus there is a chance V1 checked a meh AX to see what happened. Given your description I lean call.

3 handed and the turn bettor checked riv and he closes action? Easy fold, you're not the only defender to the spaz and v1 would have to be extremely bad to have played worse than an A this way.

Greens are almost always a value bet from an old dude.

Appreciate the advice. I agree with it all in retrospect.

Villain 2 had 83o

Since the villains seem typical, betting the flop depends less on them and more on how I think they view me. If they view me as tight, then I bet about 1/2 pot. If they view me as loose, I'll check behind.

Way too many people here put too much focus on the cards. Yea, the cards are important, but people's reactions to their cards and to others/you are more important.
