MP is 39/26/0 after 64 hands. They flat-call a *lot*.

Yatahay Network - 1000000/2000000 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

MP+1: 9.33 BB ($15.15 bounty)
CO: 18.85 BB ($15.54 bounty)
BTN: 22.56 BB ($10.97 bounty)
SB: 39.6 BB ($27.26 bounty)
BB: 29.14 BB ($10.31 bounty)
Hero (UTG): 19.65 BB ($8.69 bounty)
UTG+1: 13.53 BB ($16.05 bounty)
MP: 28.84 BB ($9.61 bounty)

8 players post ante of 0.05 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.9 BB) Hero has Tc Ac
Hero raises to 2 BB, fold, MP calls 2 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB calls 1 BB

Flop : (6.9 BB, 3 players) 6c 4s Kh
BB checks, Hero checks, MP checks

Turn : (6.9 BB, 3 players) Jh
BB checks, Hero bets 2.28 BB, MP calls 2.28 BB, BB calls 2.28 BB

River : (13.73 BB, 3 players) 2s
BB checks, Hero checks, MP checks

The preflop open is marginal. Holdem Resources Calculator says it is worth $0.15 in equity, and is a mix between opening 14% and folding 86%.

On the flop, I would c-bet 1/3 pot this flop heads-up in-position and expect to take it down enough to profit. With another player in position, I ramp my c-betting down significantly.

I thought the turn card hit my opening range reasonably well, and thought a delayed c-bet was called for -- BB had checked twice and MP had checked once, and so the board misses a lot of their range. Once I bet and both villains called, though, I was done with the hand unless I spiked a pair.

What do people think, is a delayed c-bet on the turn good or bad? One thing to note is that because I am the short stack in the hand, my fold equity is diminished, as people feel the allure of my bounty.

open pre is fine. CB flop 30-40%, and barrel all clubs, J, Q and A on the turn.

Given that we are only 3 way, I think its fine to CB into two players. The board favours our range, its super dry and we have a lot of backdoor equity.

Overall, the hand seems well played. I think you can get away with a cbet on the flop, since villains' ranges are wide, the flop dry and hits PFR's range. Delayed cbet seems more fine HU, but IMO, the board gets far more wet and gives villains a ton of continues.

Not familiar with Holdem Calculator. Does it say your hand is only an open 14% or only a shove?

It's fine. You can probably bet the flop since it's a hard one to hit and MP at least will find it very hard to continue without a king or better. BB could have anything but "anything" also includes a lot of hands that missed.

Hold'em Resources Calculator is a preflop ICM calculator which can also handle bounties, both traditional and PKO. And yes, ATs in that spot is 14% min-open, 0% shove, 84% fold.

(I realized that maybe I should have included the pay table, so that other software nerds could check my work. ;-) )

Quick look at hand and I’m drunk now. Think I would just check turn as I don’t see turn bet accomplishing much. Maybe bet Jc but think betting Jx here is not bueno. Open is super standard. You should be opening all suited aces here to have some lighter opens+ the fact suited aces play well.
