Hello there again ! I had no read on any players at this table (just entered).

I'm thinking I should have made a bigger raise PF.

Are you calling on the flop or you will make another action ? If calling, what is your plan on later streets ?

Thank you, diss.

Raise bigger pre obv to narrow the field but w/e. Snap call/3bet the flop. We have 50% equity against sets and just AJ alone without even accounting for spade draws and KJ/QJ-type hands.

it depends from V to V, but i`m going to go with the standard "given the fact that it`s 2nl" line and just jam the flop.

you get calls from all draws, JT+, maybe even a smaller pp if V is complete donk.
if you flat, you`ll more likely check turn and give V a free card.

stove a range here.

I demand an explanation. Hero has a ton of equity vs the typical 2NL villain's range. Please explain why folding is the best play here rather than just saying 'fold'.

I'm betting .12 -.14 pre.

Readless (as op stated) I am getting it in here. There's a ton of aj kj hands that will call my shove.

However if I know villain is any sort of a decent reg then the preflop limp is a big clue that a lot of his range is small/middle pocket pairs... since we are in position, I call and proceed with caution and try to see a showdown cheaply. Probably folding to a turn shove.

Why folding here ? And would you do that even if hero would make "proper" PF raise ?

I agree with everybody else here and I thank you for replies guys !

It is four players, we have 1 pair and really only have better one pair hands dominated. Going broke in big multiway pot with one pair is never a good idea.

I would bet bigger pre aswell.
And yes, as someone already stated, it's 2NL so you got lots of draw-looking guys playing everything here,
Going broke with cowboys on that board is not bad.
I would jam it aswell when the guy reraises.

Need villain tendencies/stats here. Raises in multiway pots lean towards nutty hands.
