NL10 QQ multiway

Hey Mircea05,

Preflop squeeze is fine here, sizing is fine.

I think flop cbet for value is a little thin. If we do bet we should likely reduce sizing even further, but we can x/c one street and we are committed against MP1 whatever happens since he is so shortstacked.

Turn play is fine. UTG+1 is unlikely to be bluffing since MP1 is allin so he'll have to see a showdown anyway.

If I play x/c one street... how much should I call ? A 1/2 pot bet ?

Probably up to 3/4 pot or so.

When opponents sizing gets close to pot it's often a tell at these limits in which case it's ok to make an exploitative fold.

But I don't understand something :
You are saying that if I make a 1/2 cbet on flop , like it's suppossed to be in a 3bet pot then it's too much with my midle pair, but it's okay if I call a bet from the oponnent that is up to 3/4 pot.
Why ?

And then on turn I play check/fold basically. I feel like I am wasting money here.

If opponent calls preflop with a speculative hand llike A9s for example, he may bluff flop vs a check but not call vs a bet. In other words we keep villian's range a little wider by checking.

And ok if we x/c flop we have to x/f turn, but what exactly do you think we are going on the turn after we bet flop? We are still x/f more than likely. The difference is that in the first case opponent often has a wider range and will be firing less frequently. Our range also looks stronger with the first line.
