£60 game, we’re a few hands into the FT, payouts are heavily weighted to top 3 as ever.

Two very short stacks so nobody really wants to get too involved with me, or with villain in this hand since we are two of the three biggest stacks.

Villain opens to 2x from utg+1 I have 6c7c in BB and opt to defend from a stack of c50B

Flop 234 all red

I check call a 2.2BB cbet. I’m floating since he has a lot of AX and broadway hands that miss this and I figure my range is more likely to hit this board.

Turn is a black 5 - happy days.

I check, he bets 5BB

Is raising here ever an option?

If there's no flush then I don't see why not. He is going to have a hard time folding an A to a small raise. He is going to think you are trying to push him off a chop.

I also like the idea of leading turn here. Even though you have it, he may feel it's a range bet since you have more 6s. If he has an ace he has to call and we prevent it from going check check on the river, which is likely AP.

I think you can x raise the flop sometimes here as we have a big range advantage. Hmm I think you can raise turn but I think I like calling more and seeing if villian will go for it on river. I think villians is going to x a lot of rivers where we want to exploit bet small (20-40% pot) and try to pick up some bbs.

Flop- I wouldn’t mind a x raise sometimes as this board is much more favorable for us and villian going to have to fold a lot of high cards and Ax.

I wouldn’t mind raising turn but if I do it, I prolly wanna go oddly small to get a call. Make it like 11-14 bb I think praying for a call and an easy river spot when some flush doesn’t come in or a board pair. I don’t like min raising small but I think I would go under 3x here as an exploit to get more calls- I feel small raises tend to look super nutty but can be effective if stacks are small and we still want to show the ability to fold to a shove per se.
