Betting this Ace high connected single suited hand from MP.
Potbetting top two pair on three way flop.
Turn completes a straight, betting mostly for protection for flush draws. What do you think about the sizing? Do you ever check the turn behind?

As played, when SB check/raises, do you stack off with full house outs or just calling?
(hard to get value on the river when played passively and the river completes the full house)

Pre open is good. Flop I almost never use pot size in high SPR spot but would go for 3/4 pot.

Turn we don't block straight at all so I would check. As played folding to raise. We need around 30% equity to call versus shove. Versus straight we have 6 outs at best giving only 14% equity. So it needs to be quite often semi bluff to counter that. Should be rare villain raises with weaker made hand for value.

One way I think about betting is do you block villains x/r. Here OTT you don't block the hand class that will x/r the most (the str8) so your betting freq should be less and the size as well.

Thanks for the remarks guys.

In the end, I don't like to check the turn, mabye a bit smaller c-bet would be better, folding to a check/raise or even still bet/calling, but not giving free turn card.

Also, looking back at the hand now, the chances of SB having a straight on the turn, are not that high.
