Saturday night playing 8 handed 2/5, $1500 max buy in.

V UTG is in mid thirties, looks like Antonio esfandiari. He covers my $800 stack.

He may have noticed I took down three pots in a row by cbetting on the flop raising to $20 preflop.

V UTG (covers H): Raise to $15 (his standard open, although the table standard open was $20). Haven't seen him limp, haven't seen him be super aggressive.
MP: Call
Hero (Hijack, $800): 3! to $80 with AcAd
Cutoff calls with a $500 stack, UTG and MP call as well.

Flop ($240) Jc 9c 3h
X to me, I bet $125. Cutoff calls, UTG check raises to $425, MP folds.

I haven’t seen V make any check raises in the hour we were playing together.

Having the Ac kind of sucks here, blocking his nut flush draws.

H: ?

Preflop, I'd size it down a bit, like $60; but 3 people called your $80, so what do I know ...


Flop, 4-ways, the pot size should be $320 (+blinds-rake). Or perhaps you actually 3-bet to $60 preflop ?

If the pot size on the flop is $240, your c-bet seems too big. In general, I'd go for ~ 1/3 pot, if I cbet at all.
The problem is that you are facing three opponents whose ranges should contain a lot of medium-big pairs, 99-QQ, so I do not hate a check on this specific flop.
Once you get c-raised, holding the Ac and with CO (who cold called your 3bet preflop) still to act, I think it's a sigh-fold.

Yeh I would definitely fold - you're 4 way after a big preflop raise, you bet half pot, guy calls, and UTG makes a big x/r committing. Fair range for the villain - JJ,99,33,J9s - maybe some combos QTc,QKc,T8c? I wouldn't think AJ/KJ does this.

Yeah you’re right, pot should be $320.

Thanks for the responses, that was what I was thinking about as well.
