reads sb was a complete donk, and really just looks to be along for the ride. MP2 was the type that really tries to play well, but just don't fully get it. He had been threebetting me a lot PF, so I think he was iso attempting, but not sure what his range was. He also had a tendency to reallyoverplay hands. so what's our plan and how was the flop play?

Tough spot. The turn decision is tough. As first glance, I'd bet and call down from there, but every possible turn option makes me feel uncomfortable upon closer inspection.

what do we do if we improve

[shadow29]

I don't see any other way to play the flop.

Turn, I bet out any card. If it's raised behind me, I'd have to see what card it is before deciding whether to call down or 3-bet. Moroever, who raises is really important. I don't see how we're behind here given:

gonna bump this before I put in my turn play

[sweetjazz]

If you're pretty sure that MP2 will bet if checked to, then I am check-raising here. SB and MP2 may be drawing to runner-runner at this point. I don't believe I'm behind and I'm not that worried about the flush draw. I want to build a big pot here.

If I'm 3-bet by MP2, then I'm calling, and I'm not positive that I'm done raising depending on what falls on the turn and river. If it's two blanks, I might check-raise the river again, given the read that MP3 overplays hands.

I think our hand is much too good and our opponents sound way too donkish to be looking for the brakes here. Our goal, at this point, is to maximize the money going into the pot.

I like it so far.

If he's got a set, so be it. But you at least have to call down 2 bets to see a showdown.

If you strongly feel he is overplaying, why not check raise the turn and lead the river?

[UncleSalty]

I like it so far. MP2 seems like the type who would be jamming a flush draw here. (QJ perhaps?) If you're against a set you still have redraws and there's no point to worrying about MUBS when you flop top two.

Bet the turn, call down from there. This flop play is pretty standard, imo.
