    3 way our range is going to be pretty strong for 2 barreling on this board texture. That being said I just noticed it's BTN vs blinds so yeah I'm pretty sure this an easy value bet unless villain had been particularly tight.

    This one does look pretty straightforward. No pre-flop 3-bet so AA, KK and AK are fairly unlikely. 55 and 88 you'd expect to fold the flop. We're just not beaten by very much.

    Are we checking back because we're afraid of 22, 34 or some raggy A2, K2, etc?

    I bet/fold more on the river and expect to be called by worse a lot of the time. £4 is way to small on this board imo. I would prob fire double that, maybe slightly less depending on game flow.

    It's not so much that I'm scared of being beat and more just that I think there are so few hands that can call me off, so don't wanna put myself in a spot where more often than not I'm just getting called/raised by better hands

    Don't think he's ever calling without at least having TP here, a few of the raggy aces have made 2prs and I'm not sure the raggy aces that haven't like A3 are gonna call a 3rd barrel with just TPNK... that's the reason I went small to get them to just sigh call it off.

    Realistically I think the only hands that call a reasonable sized bet here (that I beat) are A9/AT/AJ and that's it.

    Bet/fold.

    If hes doing this with worse youve just gotta give him a round of applause and move onto next hand.
