Questions
Anyone check here or standard cbet?
If cbet called my equity reduces quite a bit. Cbet standard with a larger ace?
Thanks

In a 3-way pot, definitely cbet to deny equity. Sucks when we get raised, but we're giving up too much equity by checking.

Yeah thanks for the reply's, I just thought a delayed cbet might be best here because of the MW flop and I don't think I'm getting called by too much especially at this stack size. And when called I'm not good often .

There calling range something like better ace, two pair, 88, 55 or a FD and a few GS.

Very hard to bet flop and turn, so check flop or turn?

Value may be there on the flop but not turn.

imho, we could check flop and delay cb turn if we had A7ss, with no strong bd besides weak bd sd vs two oppos, just cb flop most of the time.
