AQo 2nd pair

Hi legand73

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I prefer raising bigger there. Such a small raise in a larger pot multiway can look pretty weak.

As played what exactly are you looking to achieve on the turn?

Well in these spots I feel that calling a minbet is the same as checking when checked to. I know it looks super weak but if i fold to 1bb the guy behind gets the pot with the fish to himself for 1bb

So go back one street.

What range does the guy behind you have?

Now, back to the turn, isn't he generally getting the fish anyway because that small donk will get raised 99% of the time? And you are folding 100%?

Plus if he calls you just gave their draws a free card.

What range does the guy behind you have?

Well his range is somewhat weak because he's called pre and then I guess wider than normal because of my sizing. Spades and JT call the bet on the flop. AK, KQ are in there too but I doubt pps call flop

Do you propose we bet again on the turn?

yes, I propose that we raise again on the turn vs such a donk or just fold (but folding seems pretty weak).

I would raise enough to at least put SB in or you can shove and put MP in a tough spot with his pairs.

Basicly Bogdan u say we commit ourselfs vs both of them with second pair?

Is not half pot bet OTF (as preflop aggressor), looks quite strong enough on such board??

Interesting turn spot. We raised the flop because SB is probably on a draw and setting his price to see a cheap turn. If he was to minbet/3bet flop then I'd be inclined to fold (trap). SB calls our raise which means he is probably on an oesd with JT or a spade draw. Given the turn is a blank for these holdings you have to raise again on the turn. Yes, you're behind some of his range but you need to extract max value from the ones you beat, which is why you raised the flop in the first place. I can't see any other way of playing the hand up to the turn.

On the turn, considering the remaining stacks you're obv. gonna put SB all in but the question is whether to shove or raise to like $4. If you raise to $4 and MP shoves then you are in bad shape. If you shove then MP may call with worse. If MP is on a draw then you are in negative freeroll territory if you only raise to $4. The complicating factor is that MP could easily have KsXs which would suck balls.

I'm gonna sit on the fence a bit as to the best decision but would lean towards shoving over SB.
