My Stack was $5

Should I still conti-bet with 3 players? Was this played correctly?

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP1 with A♦ K♥
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, Hero raises to $1.25, 3 folds, Button calls, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: T♠ 5♠ 2♥ ($4.1, 3 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $1.5, Button folds, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: 8♠ ($7.1, 2 players)
UTG+1 bets $3, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $3 returned to UTG+1.

Results:
Final pot: $7.1

im not an sss expert, but never cont bet 1/3 of the pot, especially with a flushdraw on the board!


Personally, I like a cbet here, but for at least 2/3 of the pot. If you're going to cbet here, make it a shove, as a 2/3 bet will commit you anyhow. (Maximize fold equity).

If you do not want to do this, the basic strategy is to check/fold trying to peel off an A or K in which you can shove all in.

mh i don´t like a contibet here because you can´t really fold to a reraise

but that is impossible anyway, since you contbet all in or you don't so you can't get reraised.

yeah thats what i mean... if you contibet you will have to push or you will be commited. and i don´t like to push my nearly potsized stack into two opponents on this board

Ace high with 2 Overcards and only a backdoor flushdraw, where 2 of our 6 Overcard Outs are not clean against 3 opponents on a board, that gives us not enough fold equity to win the pot without getting called.

Easy check/fold here.

1/3 pot cbet doesn`t make any sesnse to me... check/fold. I think I could play it differently then c/f in some cases, but I wouldn`t do it without a strong reason.
