Ace Flops with KK
1/3 8h
Game has several strong players, offset by a giant whale, who is not involved in this story.
UTG (550) opens 10 = l
Think we gain more by checking mw than cbetting small on a dry A high board. I also don’t think CO just gets to auto win because UTG can have plenty of Ax they are checking in flow.
I’m pretty comfortable x/f as played when CO takes a 2/3 sizing in a 3! multiway pot
Can confirm I've been told not to post results too soon.
Mods actually threatened to take away my birthday.
This exact thing happened to me some years back, but I've been 27 ever since.
This is just a range bet so often because you have a huge range advantage. When it's multiway things are a little more subtle, but in this specific scenario it seems a clear bet: you might well get the player behind you (the better player who has position) to fold (possibly including a better hand occasionally) and also get the bad player who you have position on to call worse, which would be an ideal but not unrealistic scenario. It's very hard for IP to call when (1) you have TPGK so often and (2) the other player is still to act
Secondly, I'm assuming we have a tightish OMC image and we just 3bet preflop; AA easily makes up a large part of our range which we could easily check on this bone dry flop.

Only if our 3 bet range is KK+. Otherwise, it is a small part of our range.
If we have an ~OMC image of 3betting AK/JJ+ (fair?) then we have TP+ almost 50% of the time here.
