there is no question here so i assume this is just a line check

pre is fine

flop bet sizing is absolutely terrible, if you've read some gto junk that says "betting tiny is correct, they never hit the draws you price them in to chase", then:

a) gto forum is that way
b) at least bet less than half of what cutoff has to keep the option open of jamming over him to isolate should you choose to do so

The only draw is 98 or T9 for the gutshot. I think I like betting $1.97 here (as said is just under half) so if UTG calls and CO shoves, betting is re-opened for you. Not that shoving if that situation arose is good in this particular scenario, but there is the threat of it and you do it with other hands you bet with too.

Also, when you post hands, don't post results and cut the action off at the point you want to discuss. Showing what happens can bias responses.

I'm not saying for this specific hand, I am talking in general

Looks fine to me.

I'd bet a bit larger on the flop, since we're facing 3 players and a lot of bad cards can come, but I don't hate the sizing.

Should be moved to the BBV forum imo.
