I almost made the hero raise on the end but I couldn't pull the trigger after 14 seconds...

Kind of funny because the player who won the pot could just as easily have had K8 and I would have won with a call lol

SB: $1.50 (75 bb)
BB: $2.62 (131 bb)
MP: $1.96 (98 bb)
CO: $1.65 (82.5 bb)
Hero (BTN): $2.10 (105 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with Q K
MP folds, CO raises to $0.04, Hero raises to $0.15, SB raises to $0.26, BB folds, CO calls $0.22, Hero calls $0.11

Flop: ($0.80) 9 9 5 (3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $0.38, SB calls $0.38, CO calls $0.38

Turn: ($1.94) 2 (3 players)
SB checks, CO checks, Hero checks

River: ($1.94) 6 (3 players)
SB bets $0.02, CO calls $0.02, Hero folds

Results:

Spoiler

$1.98 pot ($0.07 rake)
Final Board: 9 9 5 2 6
SB showed J T and lost (-$0.66 net)
CO showed A 8 and won $1.91 ($1.25 net)
Hero mucked Q K and lost (-$0.64 net)

Interesting hand. Would not have bet that board in a 3-way flop unless there were 2 hearts OTF. I don't know the exact stats, but assuming they are loose players as you have indicated in your message, they could have a very broad hand range and would just play the hand a bit more in a fit-or-fold way to avoid to be exploited too much.

The turn on the other hand is a very good card for you, especially when everyone again checks. It would seem that no people hit something big or have an over pair. I would bet around 70-80% here since it is a meaningless card except for your draw. Opponents would have to pay an expensive price to see if they can make a hand OTR and most probably you would take down the pot.

Hope this helps, good luck on the tables!

I don't understand that river play.. Pot is 2$ and we don't call 0.02$ even when we think that we might take down the pot here? I think I would check flop and bet turn if it comes checked to us.

We could also call this hand preflop, but it's definitelly fine to 3bet. Vs this 4bet size, a call is fine. I don't expect much fold equity on this flop, but it's probably fine to try to take the pot with overcards, BDFD and BDSD. When we decided to bet the flop, we should bet this turn, imo. Then we can bet any :heart: on the river for value and J or A as a bluff. I would probably check back K or Q (or bet small for thin value).

I would only bet the flop multi-way if I know that they do fold to bets on the flop, because both players look very fishy. As played probably I would have shoved the turn instead.
On the river I would have called the 2 cents because you pot odds where huge.

I thought they had about 66 and 77 that's why I bet the flop since I thought I would get HU and potentially make a funky play on the turn. When they both called I still had them on 66 and 77 all the way down, just didn't think they would fold. I didn't even see they were bad players before the hand. At least I thought about the ship on the end for a bit before folding, but even then you never know you might get a call from A high.

I would just call pre vs reg, 3betting vs fishy CO is better than calling, he will with many dominated hands and vs cold 4b you have to call given the insane pot odds you get.

I would be x OTF, I don't think you need to go crazy in 4b pot on this board, but if stab OTF, when you should shove turn, which improves your equity IMO.

OTR calling is fine, folding is fine, I doubt that you will ever win in 4b pot w K high.
