its hard for me how to play middle pairs from early position.
because mostly over cards come on the flop.
how should I play?
open raise size is too small?
and what about post flop play? turn is bet fold or check call?

Hello daisuke3823,

Preflop:

Playing them this way pre is fine. Size is fine. You can make it a bit smaller but just min raise is also fine.

Flop:

With that many people in the hand, just give up. No need to make a c-bet here.

Turn:

As played, good c/f here. No need to do anything else.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:
