2/3 10 handed -
Hero ($350): 20's LAG image.
V1 ($500): old man fish.
V2 ($280): 20's asian girl, just joined table.

4 limpers, Hero raises to $26 in HJ with AA. I vary sizing depending on the amount of limpers. V1 calls from the SB and V2 calls from the BB. Limpers fold.

Flop ($80): J46
Check, check, hero bets $45. Should I have bet more? I tend to c bet small on dry boards but this is multiway so maybe it should've been bigger.
. V1 folds and V2 raises to $145 after thinking for a bit. Hero?

This bet is pretty much playing for stacks as I don't think I'm folding if I call. I block the NFD which is a big part of her semi bluff range. Honestly not sure what the best play here is. All options seem wrong. Thoughts?

Not folding here vs an unknown. Lots of fds and Jx in her range. Call and call turn shove.

I just put her all in now if I'm going to play, which for less than 100bb against an unknown, I'm going to do. Does she know you are a lag? Do you at least look like one?

Preflop is a little difficult due to varying stack sizes that don't easily enable us to get in 10% of our stack preflop. I think I'd base my raise size more on stacks that limped into pot or who I expect to play against, and with an aggro image that might enable us to get just that much more closer to 10% preflop. Can we get away with $30 here? I think we might...

SPR on the flop is 4 thanks to going 3 ways, so we'll be able to get stacks in just 2 streets if we want. Flop is drawy, so that's what I'd plan to do. We also have an aggro image, so TP ain't gonna fold against us. If we walked into a set, we're going to pay it off (which ain't great as preflop we offered 14+ implied odds against the old guy). I pot the flop to shove the turn. If board didn't have the flush draw I'd more lean towards 3 postflop bets.

Sucks facing a check/raise, but she's unknown and we only gave her ~11 implied odds to setmine against us, so even if we stack off every single time she flops a set I'm sure we'll be profitable against her TP type hands / draws / tricky KK/QQ. I'm shipping it.

GII and hoping she does not have a set....

It may sound weird but a player at these stakes can show up with QQ and even KK here. I've seen it at higher stakes too. They're calling pre looking for a safe flop before GII. Especially KK which wants to avoid the Ace OTF.

So there's always the chance she has those hands, plus AJ or if she's an agro player, a hand like JT. If she's loose pre she could have 78.

We all hate to get c/r but I don't think we can fold in this spot. I wouldn't want to call and have to call off turn. I'd rather shove on her and make her decide if she wants to stack off.

I'd also cbet bigger, like around $55 for value. Especially when someone could have TP+FD.

GII, should be plenty of combos of JcXc in her range and with no reads we can't rule out KK/QQ/AJ/KJ/QJ or hands like 8c7c. Probably c-betting slightly larger ($55-$60).

ok thanks guys, it seems much more clearer a ship is in order here. i was a little hesitant since i block so much of the hands i beat, but despite that her value range is still really small.

i ended up making the mistake of calling instead of jamming. turn was 10 she shoved her remaining 100ish and i called. River 2. She flipped over 57 and i took the pot. Feels good to win flips

I would just stick it in OTF - pot is fat, as said above we beat AJ/QQ/KK which are all plausible one pair hands.

Villain should have jammed flop (especially if hero bet larger like he should have).
