I think it is the right play against these opponents postflop.

Preflop I am less sure but if you think there is a good chance you will lose the SB I think it is good. The downside is you are building the pot with a hand that doesn't like it.

Re: ATo 5/10
 

Check the turn. The rest looks okay.

Re: ATo 5/10
 

What are the reasons for betting the turn here? Looks like a classic free card for a hand that badly needs one. Good luck getting someone to fold a better hand here (TT and 99 is about it)

Given how you played the hand, could see a turn fold also. How many of your outs are even good here after being C/R'd?

What's your rationale for the preflop cap? I don't usually put that fourth bet in when it's 3-handed. BB is a loose raiser, but I don't think he's loose enough to cap ATo against. It just sets you up to get check/raised when you're behind, and folded to when you're ahead.

Re: ATo 5/10
 

I'm not sure I like the cap preflop but if you're going to do it, you have to take the free card. That's what the cap is for.

The flop bet is pretty standard but you HAVE to check the turn. After you bet it I think folding it is the best option because theres a great chance you're drawing dead.

Don't cap PF like others said. Take free card like others said. Fold river UI.
