HERO is QQ in SB.
1 EP limper. V1 in MP raises to $25. Two callers to me including V2.
I 3-bet to $150. V1 and V2 call. Pot is ~$480 and we have ~$450 remaining.
Flop is AK6r and we have first action.
What's our optimal plan for the rest of the hand?
[As played, I checked and it checked through. Turn was a blank (I honestly don't remember, let's say 7h)].
RESULT:
I checked turn, hoping to get to free showdown, but willing to call a bet.
V1 bets $175; v2 calls.
I fold. Would have called one bet, but bet/call is too much.
River is a blank. check-check. V1 shows TT and V2 mucks.
I think I botched the hand terribly (and not just saying that because of results). Given PF action and blockers board, I should have acted on strong possibility that both villains had mid-pocket pairs. Should have bet flop small.
