Hi everyone,

in this hand I thought that the BB's and my stack were big enough to minraise AKo instead of pushing. In the retrospective I think a push would have been the better option.

But my actual question is, what to do postflop after getting checked to? On this board I think a CBet could work against two opponents but it might end up with a check raise from one of the other players. So do you think a check behind is the more profitable option?

PokerStars - $0.44+$0.06|150/300 Ante 25 NL - Holdem - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 16 BB (VPIP: 29.63, PFR: 23.31, 3Bet Preflop: 10.53, Hands: 135)
Hero (BTN): 15.22 BB
SB: 13.79 BB (VPIP: 27.45, PFR: 6.00, 3Bet Preflop: 6.25, Hands: 51)

3 players post ante of 0.08 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.75 BB) Hero has K♦ A♥

Hero raises to 2 BB, SB calls 1.5 BB, BB calls 1 BB

Flop: (6.25 BB, 3 players) T♣ 6♦ 4♠
SB checks, BB checks, Hero ???

Pushing is +ev for sure with AK, but I would normal min raise on the BTN as well.
As played a Cbet is very thin against 2 players and it’s easy to get committed as well and you can still improve on turn or river and I would go for a check behind and go for a chap showdown unimproved.

Cheers,

OTF you can check behind here then do a delayed cbet OTT if they both check again or use your AK as a bluff catcher
BB is pretty aggressive pre flop so seeing as he didnt raise its unlikely he has a great hand, the SB is more passive so I would be more wary if he bets
