I’m in the blind raise to $40 about $1500 effective…

Flop T66 w 2 spades

I look down at the sexy J762 and lead 170 into 320…

MP and LP call call…. I go to shut down.

Turn 2.. I check

MP bets 375…

LP tank folds…

Hero???

LP is on the tighter side, MP is a reg.

Smells like TT/T6. Often when three people are interested in paired boards it’s top boat and two people with trips. Just my experience from plo5.

Unless you think these folks are in there floating with overpairs I think I’d quietly let this one go. Merit to checking flop with a weak kicker too.

Hero is right to be cautious on turn when he gets 2 callers and there is only one other 6 in the deck. When against the other 6 our j kicker is rarely ahead. While its not impossible for villain to have some semi bluffs, continuing is unlikely to be profitable.

But if we have reads like villain calls flop too light (its 8 players to the flop) or is very sticky with tx and overpairs, i am a lot more likely to see river.

Flop is probably also better as a check than lead.

Check fold flop.

This is probably a top 50% flop for our hand and a top 50% hand for this flop, but it's still too weak to bet.

Is this 7 or 8 way on the flop? I would check the flop with this many players in the hand - I think a board like this with this many people in plays very straightforward as it's very likely for someone to have 6x/TT. Likewise if you had TT you'd want to fire away here with a good shot to stack 6x. On the turn he of course will bet TT/T6, and possibly has a big combo draw like 789ss or something of that nature. Not sure if he bets a combo draw or just tries to see a free card, so maybe his turn betting range is 75% TT/T6 20-25% combo draw. I think with that said I'd just fold the turn - against a stickier/trickier villain I might consider something else but you'll see the nuts alot.

I think a check is preferable and maybe it screws up the action for my later street decisions.

When both villains call my flop bet I’m assuming it’s 6x and TT. They’re both somewhat nitty.

The 2nd villain who over called also folded AA w a suit earlier in the session to me when I iso jammed double suited KK against a short stack. So maybe he was trying to “get me” back or something. But once he folds is it possible that villain 1 has the remaining 6x instead of TT? Like does villain 1 become capped at a 6x hand? He either has 6x or TT I think T6 raises flop bc it’s vulnerable.

This is in a live setting. The play is unpredictable. The dynamic is also weird.

The main villain also changed seats to get onto my left and he was my nemesis until recently when I’ve owned him.

Is there any merit to check jamming the 2?

If we think it’s just a cooler and we call we might as well jam for the times he has a 6x? It’s probably as Wesley says an over play!

I told main villain I’ll give him $5 if he shows anything but TTxx and he snap rolls over:

The thing is everyone can be uncapped here on the turn, so not sure why MP is betting that hand especially with stacks being what they are. I mean it's very clear on the turn after you bet into 7 players along with two callers that at least one of you has 6x+. His K6 turn bet is really bad - not sure why he'd bet that esp with 1 guy to act behind him and everyone uncapped.
