Daily 1/2 nl at local casino:
Hero (button) $300 chip stack
Villian#1 (UTG+2) $200 chip stack
Villian#2 (bb) $300 chip stack (regular at the casino)

Pre-flop: couple players limp Hero raises to $10 with QQ
both villians call. Pot: $31.

Flop: J69
Villian#2 check, villian#1 check, Hero bets cbets $20.
both villians call. Pot: $91

Turn: K
Villian#2 thinks for like 30sec and bets $100.
Villian#1 folds, Hero thinks then mucks his QQ.

I put Villian#2 on a hand like Ax

Any insides ? Thanks,

Raise bigger pre-flop, as villains will call bigger.

Flop bet can also be bigger (full pot) to get more value.

Turn is a fold. Villain is leading out into two people, your QQ is pretty much drawing dead.

Soul reads = not learning. Reply with each street of a possible range for each Villain. Then, calculate your equity based on Villains narrowed range.

PF raise to $15. A $10 raise is fine if we're opening the action, but we should be adding at least $2 for each limper. So in general, raise $12-$15 over one limper, raise $15-$17 over two limpers, etc.

Flop is super wet. I expect villains to peel this flop quite often, which means we can bet full pot.

Turn is an easy fold.

I don't like standard raise sizes. $10 seems like a good "value" raise cause it's easy to be called by weaker hands at 1/2, and it's still a substantial 5x raise. Also, raising a set amount plus an amount for each limper is not-optimal, since you are not thinking about your bet-sizing on later streets.

But your SPR against a $300 stack is 10 in this hand. Yuck. What you really wanted was $50 or $60 in the pot when you went to the flop. So dial in your pre-flop raise size accordingly. If people are limp/calling (like the do A BUNCH at 1/2), then punish their mistake by making them limp/call a big number. Your pre-flop raise should have been to $18 or $20. That may seem like an easy way to win the blinds, but if you're playing like this consistently, and a fair amount of your raises are $15+, then your raise will not look so suspciously strong and you'll get calls, particularly from smaller pairs that have a real hard time out-flopping you. So if you're going to be taking down a lot of pots on the flop, they might as well be big ones.

RAISE MORE PRE-FLOP

Then on the flop you should be able to set up a turn shove, or just get it in profitably against drawing hands that made an epic pre-flop mistake, or AJ that made top pair.

$10 where I play will get called by the entire table, so I would have gone larger. Also, we want value and we do not want multiple callers with QQ.

Probably bet pot on this wet flop.

As played, turn fold is fine.

Note: No real reads on these Vs. "Regular" doesn't really tell us much.

PF: I'll assume a "couple players" means two. $10 is too low; my default raise would be ~$14.

How can the pot be (3) handed with $31 in the middle, if there were two limpers before your raise, the BB calls your raise, and "both villains call".

F(31): (3) handed. SPR is 6.5 and 9.6. Possible drawing hands: QT, 87, T8, KQ, AdXd. Lot of cards on the turn may be bad for us: A, K, Q, J, T, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, any diamond. Pretty much the whole deck. I think the 65%P bet is OK, but I'd probably make it slightly higher at $25.

T(91): (3) handed. Well, the Kd is bad; it completes the QT OESD, the flush draw, and of course any hand with a K is now beating us. V2 is potting against two players here which is very strong. I'm folding here.
