UTG checks, CO checks, Hero bets $2.90,


im in a pretty good spot with AKs on the button vs some weak opposition when i 3B and get 2 callers and happen to hit a great FLOP.my question is should i be betting as large as i did or should i be betting an amount that would arise suspicion and a possible check raise or float?i felt i was smashing both players ranges and kicked myself after the bet for making it so much.

Your hand isn't that strong, if they both fold that's a great outcome for you.

i really respect your input so thanks for taking the time to post.is the bet sizing ok or should i be making it a little smaller.i understand getting the folds is a good thing but isnt betting a lil less to get a possible call from PP's that arent a set, AK AQ and possibly even worse hearts going to be more profitable when i turn barrel most cards?

I think I like your bet sizing. If they fold, that's a good outcome, but this size also sets up pretty good stacks for a turn shove.

You're definitely not betting for value...list the hands that you beat that are calling? I think you're probably very slightly behind villain calling ranges, but I could be wrong. You have a ton of equity against anything, obv, otf.

Do we have their call cbet %?

This is kinda tight, but I just can't see a great reason to bet here IP. Pretty much only worse hands fold, right?

i think cbetting this board is great.
its a 3bet pot, with a PFR and call, and a flat caller PF.

we have the NFD, on a T high flop. we can expect JJ and QQ to flat our cbet.
AA (doubful as we have an A), and KK (same reason) will prolly raise, and TT (light call PF) will defo raise. so unless one of the villians is super aggressive, and will stack off with JJ here, i'd say we're not likely to have our cbet raised.

so, we build the pot by cbetting, and thus win more when our FD completes.

If you think we are so ahead here, whats problem with checking?? hoefully he hits one of his tainted outs,...only value in betting here is to get called by a worse draw...which we beat...there is gonna be a lot of worse cards for villains v-bet range on turns/rivers we can v-bet or bluff...c-betting gets him off pure air?? and 33-55?? bet here if one of villains is a fish and in LP to call a weak bet with overs. or a 6x...

Why are you 3betting so big?

I think Cbet is good to get them of their equity and to fold some pp now or later, which is nice when we have equity to get it in on the flop.

I say this with the most benevolent intentions OP, but try using some full stops and maybe capitals, it'd be so much easier to read your words....

With a SPR of about 2.5, you want to bet a size where you can comfortably jam the turn; best size here would have been around $2.40.

I think the 3b sizing is okay because the CO called.

If he's getting 2 callers with this size, why not bet this size for value? It's not that huge of a bet any way.
