That's a bit better format

plenty of times it will be missed draws, ace i do not see here with all in, also straight possible..

You can bet turn here for value vs all his draws.

As played would just check fold, a lot of stuff has got there/made 2p

Try posting this hand and similars in the correct hand evaluation forum, not in Advanced NL forum.

Do you have any reads on who the fish are? Are the two preflop callers both regulars?

Against two regulars I would bet smaller on the flop. They both have nutflushes, flushes and sets, your hand is not strong enough to bet big there.

Against a fish in the hand the flop bet is good.

Turn is usually check fold or bet. Check call is usually not good because your opponent will check behind hands you beat but would call a bet with and only bet stronger hands a few bluffs, putting you into a bad check call situation, where either betting or checkfold is better.

When you check turn and he bets a bit over half pot, call is fine though.

River fold is good.

Overall hand is fine.

This comment really interested me. Why does the bet-sizing make the call better? It must be something to do with how it changes his range has changed rather than the change in our required success frequency right? He is more likely to be betting thin with a worse 2nd pair for value, protection and/or free showdown?

edit: I find the numbers being so small distracts me a little bit so I edited the turn to make it seem more worth the point-

Turn: ($61) A (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $36, Hero calls $36

Spoiler

MP2 didn't show

That's a bit better format

Second barrel is the best option on the turn I think. Villain could have lots of draws that floats your flop cbet, or he could also have a made hand that he is not willing to fold yet like JJ-99 with heart blockers. Turn A non-heart is a good scare card for you since UTG range has strong Ax, and you could have A yourself. If villain continues by calling, I think river is a check-fold, or check-call if we improve to flush. If he 3bets big on the turn, we are done with the hand.

Moved to the appropriate board.
