Hi,

Would you have Cbet against two villains on this board?

I didn't because I don't have position over them both.

Thanks

Hello Paluzzo,

Would you have Cbet against two villains on this board?

We can't give up our strong hand that easy. We should make a small c-bet but be very careful of course next streets. C-bet to 1/2 of the pot is enough.
As played, we should call the small bet and evaluate turn. Villain can be betting with all of his range to take the pot. We should not be giving that easy. Of course that don't mean to put all our chips with second pair. We should play safe but not let to be exploit.

I think this is a common situation early in SnG and I think it's very difficult to a new player with little experience do a good play.

What trouble me is: we bet flop (< ~1/2) and get called. Then, on the turn:
* c/c (a small bet < ~ 1/2)
* bet and fold to raise
* bet and get called. This case I think the better is going to c/c River or even c/f.

When we lose the hand, it's seems that in the better situation we lose almost 500 chips. that's put us to be involved in 'risk' situations early in the tournament.

I really don't think we have to toss this hand like that, I just want to improve in how to play this situation.

Hi,

Bet/fold flop flop.
After that check/ fold turn vs UTG to a normal bet and check/call small bet. Against BB bet to 1/2 of the pot for value from draws and cheap showdown. Check back would be also fine but I prefer the bet. Against two players - check/fold to almost any bet.
On the river check back to BB. Against UTG check/fold if he bets again and bet to 1/3 of the pot if he had checked the turn. Check/call is also fine but we don't want him to make some giant bet and to make us fold.
