BTN: $22.90 (91.6 bb)
Hero (SB): $25.50 (102 bb)
BB: $26.68 (106.7 bb)
UTG: $56.49 (226 bb)
MP: $20.09 (80.4 bb)
CO: $39.98 (159.9 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A J
UTG raises to $0.75, MP calls $0.75, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2.75, BB folds, UTG calls $2, MP folds

Flop: ($6.50) 4 Q 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

Turn: ($6.50) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $4.40, UTG folds

Almost no info on villains, UTG is 13/9 in 45 hands and MP is 52/24 in 25 hands (fish).

Decided to 3bet pre as a bluff. Should be okay with blockers to put a lot of pressure on UTG as well MP. Was thinking if I should maybe just call to keep the fish in, but I don't think AJo plays well enough 3way to make that a really viable option, so I decided to 3bet instead.

When just UTG calls and I have pretty much no equity, I decided to just give up on the flop. When he checks back though, I think I can pick it up very often with two barrels, especially on this turn card. It's going to be tough for him to call twice with just a pair, and there's a good chance he'll just fold straight away on the turn.

So my plan was to bet twice, unless the river would be another spade.

Also I don't like my sizing, should probably be something like $3.80-$4?

Hey TinoLaan,

Preflop bluff ok here, although we don't want to bluff much wider vs these particular positions imo.

Giving up here is fine on this flop.

Vs check back betting 2barreling is fine imo. I agree with comments about sizing.
