$0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

BTN: $46.07 (92.1 bb)
SB: $59.89 (119.8 bb)
BB: $94.83 (189.7 bb)
Hero (UTG): $89.92 (179.8 bb)
MP: $64.74 (129.5 bb)
CO: $101.06 (202.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7♠ 8♠
Hero raises to $1.50, MP calls $1.50, CO calls $1.50, 3 folds

Flop: ($5.25) 2♦ 6♥ 8♥ (3 players)
Hero ???

MP: 21/16/7,1
CO: 27/23/11

Standard regulars. FvCbet around 45-50, raise cbet IP around 8.

How to approach these situations in general? If i cbet it's really a thin vbet, but i can't c/c beacuse we are 3way, and even in a HU pot with such an early position. There are lot of bad turn cards for us.

Hey 24magus24,

Betting nearly always the best option here. Yes it's tough to get called by worse, but no impossible. It's a decent outcome for us if both of our opponents just fold overcards, so we bet for protection mainly + as you mentioned it's very tough to x/c and not good to let 2 opponents freeroll a turn.

What turn cards would you continue to barrell? In this hand, i cbetted, mp called me, the turn was the 5 :heart:, which is obviously not a great card.
I was thinking about turning my hand into a bluff, but given that he called me 3way, and i don't have any blocker, i just check/folded.

Barreling anything other than 2pair/trips is not actually necessary here since we will have other hand in our range that our two barreling, and our pair often still has reasonable showdown value.

Exploitatively it may be decent to turn our hand into a bluff on overcards or if we pick up equity however, but ideally we'd pick non-pair hands to barrel in this manner since it allows us to bluff more effectively.
