CO ($85BB) 85bb
BTN ($100BB) 100bb
SB Hero ($102.5BB) 103bb
BB ($101.5BB) 102bb
Pre-Flop: (1.5BB, 6 players) Hero is SB K♠: K♦:

2 folds, CO raises to 2BB, BTN calls 2BB, Hero raises to 9BB, 1 fold, CO calls 7BB, BTN calls 7BB

Flop: T♦: 6♦: T♠: ($28BB, 3 players)
Hero bets 18BB, CO calls 18BB, BTN folds
Turn: 2♠: ($64BB, 2)
Hero bets 35BB, CO goes all-in 58BB, Hero calls 23BB

After I cbet here Im commited so I think I have to call his shove. So my question is how do I avoid this kind of situation? Check/call would be better here?

River: 7♣: ($180BB, 2), 1 all-in
Final Pot: $180BB
CO shows three of a kind, Tens
T♣: A♣:
Hero shows two pair, Kings and Tens

BTN lost $9BB
Hero lost $85BB

Preflop we can squeese bigger, expecialy with fish in hand. Flop is dry, we can cbet around 1/3-1/2 and stop if somebody call, OTT x/c on some small bet,imo.

As suggested above, pre sizing could be bigger and flop sizing a bit smaller. OTT I would continue betting because more draws open and we are playing against recreational player.
This time you lost but it doesn't mean you did something horribly wrong. Sometimes it just happens and you can't avoid that.

How much bigger would you guys raise preflop?

I would probably go for 10 or 11 bb.

Yeah against a 3bb open I tend to 3bet a bit bigger usually 11bb but I feel like 2bb open is weak isnt it?

It's not a 3bet, it is a squeeze. When someone opens to 3bb and someone calls, your standard squeeze size should be around 12 or 13bb. I usually raise pot. Now we have a very good hand and at least one of the villains looks recreational so we can go with a bigger sizing.

Yeah so Squeeze is when someone opens, another guy calls and then I raise. I got it now thx.
I was talking about my 3bet (which was out of topic ) that I like to 3bet for like 11bb with a strong hand to build up the pot preflop. But you had a good advice I could be doing that while squeezing as well, actually it makes even more sense since there are 2 players so more possibility that at least one calls me. Thanks for your thoughts.
