BB: $5.76 (115.2 bb)
Hero (UTG): $5 (100 bb)
MP: $5.20 (104 bb)
CO: $9.41 (188.2 bb)
BTN: $3.24 (64.8 bb)
SB: $6.51 (130.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 5 5
Hero raises to $0.15, MP folds, CO calls $0.15, BTN calls $0.15, 2 folds

Flop: ($0.52) T 5 2 (3 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $0.26, BTN raises to $0.97, Hero calls $0.97, CO raises to $3.30, BTN calls $2.12 and is all-in, Hero raises to $4.85 and is all-in, CO calls $1.55

Turn: ($13.31) Q (3 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($13.31) 8 (3 players, 2 are all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

$13.31 pot ($0.66 rake)
Final Board: T 5 2 Q 8
Hero mucked 5 5 and won $12.65 ($7.65 net)
CO showed 2 2 and lost (-$5 net)
BTN showed J J and lost (-$3.24 net)

CO - ( $9.41 USD ) - VPIP: 36, PFR: 28, 3B: 23, AF: 7.0, Hands: 36
BU - ( $3.24 USD ) - VPIP: 17, PFR: 0, 3B: 0, AF: 0.6, Hands: 30

Flop: I elected to slowplay this flop as the board is so dry. Was looking to x/r either of my opps. Also saw CO's high A.F albeit only 36 hands and banking on him to bet.

The decision came when BTN raised. I was thinking of 3-betting or just flatting. I decided to just flat because of BTN's stack. Even if CO folded, BTN's next bet will put him all in on the Turn so I wouldn't mind. If CO called, the pot will also be too huge and the next bet will commit him.

Hello,

Preflop is fine.

On the flop I don't really like the idea for a check/raise here.
I prefer betting standard here.
As played, I think when BU raises calling and then calling their all-in is fine.

Best,
Plamen

Hi Coach,

Do you mind explaining why you would prefer betting standard here? I know there's 2 opps, but I think the flop is dry enough to risk giving a free turn card?

I think he don't like the idea of check/raise because this line looks really strong and you will push many worse out of the hand like this.

Yeah, that's it. Check/raising looks way more stronger and people would be more inclined to fold their QT for example, rather than calling us on two-three streets.

Also, we have a very strong hand against rather unknown opponents, so without having spotted some leaks in their game, I think betting is best.
