Looking back at this, leading out just seems spewey. With 3 overs here this is just an obvious Check/fold right?

I'm thinking (now): (1) I am never good here, and have no draws....and a C-Bet is unlikely to take both villians off their hands.

Appreciate any thoughts/comments.

Also, were it only ONE villian only here, C-Bet?

id just limp behind tbh and set mine. going to be hard to play 55 post vs some lp type players. would def raise 99+ tho.

as played thats a pretty good board for us to cb id go like ~190 and shut down from there.

+1 to limping behind unless table is passive as ****.

Cbet is good. How to proceed after that depends on reads/stats on opponents. Prob giving up pretty easily if anyone shows interest in the pot.

^what stats would lead you to be continuing with your hand after getting called?

His fold to cbet so we know what kind or range hes continuing with otf and then how he reacts to a 2nd barrel. You need a large sample to trust these stats so unless you have the right villain id give up vs most opponents.

I like the preflop iso raise if the table isn't suuuper loose/cally, in that case I might limp it on the CO. However it's always a raise on the button imo

Always cbet this flop vs one villain! I'd cbet ~175 but I think it's semi close to a check.

Makes sense, but in a 3-way pot like this, check the flop?, then as said here before, fold if anyone else shows interest?

Limp behind pre in almost any kind of table w these stacks. As played cbet is ok imo even though you are against two villains. Obv slowdown turn. 2nd barrel is a bit trigger happy to a high board if you get called on flop?
