Hero (BTN): 1,270 (25.4 bb)
SB: 2,909 (58.2 bb)
BB: 1,545 (30.9 bb)
MP: 1,876 (37.5 bb)
CO: 1,400 (28 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A T
MP folds, CO calls 50, Hero raises to 150, SB calls 125, BB folds, CO calls 100

Flop: (500) A 3 5 (3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Hero bets 250, SB calls 250, CO folds

SB checks, Hero bets 870 and is all-in

CO is 37/20, SB is 43/25, both over a couple hundred hands.
Stacksizes are often really awkward I think at t50, I often just fold these type of hands pre after there's limpers to avoid the headaches. Raise size is to get the initiative in the hand and get rid of the blinds (BB is a reg who wont get involved much here), I dont expect CO to fold to a 200 raise so 150 seems ok? How would you play 66, KQo? What if there was two limpers?

I guess flop is standard, maybe bet less?

Turn shove is for value or a bluff (villain is a loose fish, so its value but it feels thin to me)? Better to checkback and get to showdown, fold to river shove?

This is a spot i find awkward also. I typically raise here if i think I can isolate the limper, and wont raise if i expect one of the blinds to come along.

Given the stats for the sb, if i raise id prob raise to 200 to increase chances of isolating although it probably doesnt matter. On the flop I like the bet size and I think you are committed here. 66/kq i cf given the players.

Played perfectly imo. It would be a mistake not to raise this preflop, 150-175 would be my sizing. Post-flop is standard. You are def value shoving the turn, not bluffing. wp

I would treat kq the same way as ato here, 66 I would prob limp behind this fishy guy as the blinds wont raise over your limps that much.

you can make arguments for taking different lines but nothing is a "mistake" here. nh

kq and 66 play the same pre, i might start jamming 66 under ~1100 chips in this spot

I think folding AT behind limpers at bb50 is a significant mistake, limping is much better than folding.

I'd make it 130-160 (200 blowz!) pre everytime here and do the same with KQ/66. If we don't try to induce by check or small betting the flop then we're jamming all turns pretty much

The raise size pre is perfect imo. Raising more makes it only more awkward postflop.

With KQo, I'd also be okay with a limp since it flops better.

Haven't done any maths but I doubt you're deep enough to setmine with 6's here. I'd just fold them.
