I know I should have conti-bet but i'm a shorty compared to the rest of the table.
I just felt that 1 of them was calling with something that had hit the flop so i backed down.
I bet on the river to hopefully take it down because both villains were showing no strengh what so ever.
But a PP didnt even cross my mind.

If you are going to be scared, don't bother playing at all because there are call that will require steel nuts, and fear cannot affect your gameplay.

You have to cbet that flop... You raised utg and they might even be putting you on top 7% of hands... QQ+ AQ+.... So well you gotta c-bet that... and then if you get called check on turn... If you get re-raised... Get away from it...

As played check down on the river... No need to put a gay 300 (i'm trying to steal the pot) bet out there... Since well every hand is calling you cept those that A high has beaten

Hi all,

I assume we're quite far from the money?

Preflop is obviously OK.

On the flop we can opt between continuation betting and directly check/folding. Because it's 3-way, the chances someone's hit something and will call you down is very high, but it's not very drawheavy, so we still have a bit of fold equity.

I would make the delayed cbet on the turn after everyone checks through the flop because SB very rarely has anything in this spot (2 checks, cannot possibly expect to be able to check/raise, etc.)

On the river as played I prefer betting. We should have a ton of fold equity as played, like you said.
