Thoughts

  • I assume population would call behind with draws/combo draws. But villain's stats (small sample) make me second guess whether villain would raise w/ some frequency here
  • There's a ton of turns that I don't want to face aggression on, even if I'm ahead
  • If I'm already behind, I'm crushed

Preflop is a standard fold, A3o is just too weak especially if a player having position on you doesn't like to fold. It could be acceptable if BTN was very tight and blinds very tight or very bad players.
Good fold on the flop, for the reasons you list.


Good fold to the raise. AK is a fold there. As mentionned, you can also fold pre and not bet the flop


Yeah I would check the flop here, especially if you are playing that sizing.

Pre is a fold unless I have some really specific exploit (btn is a nit and bb is terrible or something).

Good fold on the flop, this board/sizing and multiway configuration are all under bluffed.


As others said, I open this only btn, sb and bb are nits, trying to just steal pot. Otherwise fold pf.

As played definitelly fold to flop rase. Thinking if we can omit cbet and try to get to showdown as cheap as/if possible (player dependant)? Imo our equity isnt anything special on this board and we are multiway.
