Have reviewed in PT4 and still think could be marginal. So would appreciate your thoughts.

Villain seems fishy but not particularly terrible. Playing 25/17, also labelled for no top-up

6 players post ante of 0.1 BB, Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

I think you played it fine on this run out. He can call with worse in this spot.
I see no merit in checking river since he will check his worse hands behind but will likely stack off with AK and maybe KJ here if he is a station or think you are bluffing.

Ap, i think it's fine. QTo is not in my SB 3b vs BU open range, and villain has a somewhat tight pfr, so I probably wouldn't play it here.

I suppose you wanted to generate a fold preflop...? I think postflop is fine. Bottom two are a little bit more vulnerable, especially if Villain 4B AK. If he doesn't, it's another reason to play for stacks.

I think we are looking for a fold pre?

I also thought we shouldn't have a calling range in the SB without a Fish in the BB. Is it that our hand plays well multi-way?

weak 2p really seems too weak for potting the turn and the bet is too big anyway
would bet <1/2p and I prefer this to x/c

should go for 2/3+ otf if you think he's fishy

I have the feeling that we should size up flop cbet to 1/2

Result: villain calls with KJcc

Prob getting into too much trouble 3betting this pre. What do you guys do with it pre vs say 2.5x and weaker players, regs etc

I'd fold pre. 3B is my second-best option, though GTO would prolly prefer the call.

It depends on BB profile too. Is he coming along or RR?

This looks good, I really like the 3bet pre. I'd probably go a little smaller turn to give myself nearer a pot sized bet for the river.
