A889ss work seeing from the SB that multiway? Or just junk.....

nah it's junk - the only useful part 5 ways is going to be the NF draw. Maybe at98s.

Is this not a spew? Don't we want to play these types of hands a bit slower?

vs. the same line but with an additional 50BB behind, what do you guys think of a semi-suicidal bluffraise on the river, something about 1/2 to 2/3 pot?

3-ways with a SB coldcaller who has been kinda weird and a CO with a short stack (40BB to start the hand basically), what do you guys think of betsizing IP on this flop? It's the sort of flop I expect to get checkraised a fair amount on, though it's not quite wet enough that I feel like I need to check back. It just feels kinda gross for any options, but I've settled on betting about 2/3 pot here with most of my c-betting range. Thoughts?

the 8754 we get in on the flop? We spend about 5 minutes talking about that hand I think.

you talking about the akjt on the 22a86 board? I'm torn. On the one hand, I really don't think this guy has a boat very often given his bet sizing (I think he has 2xxx). On the other hand, he's clearly bad, we don't rep much of anything by raising the river (I know this probably isn't hugely important, but it's still worth pointing out), and he may not be able to fold a flush if he backed into one. I'd probably go for it and curse him when he calls with like 5d4d32 or something.

Sounds fine to me. I think in this spot our betsizing is fine because
when we bet big into both of them, SB _has_ to play us honestly. If he raises, he wants to get stacks in (given the presence of the shorty). I probably should have raised that point more strongly in the video. There probably isn't a huge difference between 5.5 and 7.25 here, but every little bit helps. I'm mostly ok with the bet because I want to do everything I can to get sb to fold now (I should note that in other spots I could be just as much on this board with a different hand for different reasons). We have enough equity + dead money to get AI with the shorty.

One reason I tend to bet a bit smaller here is that I don't mind getting it in vs. the CO as much, but I don't think that betting smaller has a huge impact on SB's range *because* he has to play a little bit more honestly. There's a side benefit of risking less to win the same and also having a little better odds in some spots when SB checkraises (like he did here).

I tend to bet $10 here. Usually people who have KKxx in UTG's spot will call once more and then let the river go checkcheck pretty frequently even after we check back the turn. There's not a ton of value to be had from here on out w/the hand no matter what, so I don't know if $10 or $12 really makes a huge difference, but I tend to size my cbets smaller on paired boards.

It's a 83/17 or so:

Higher equity than I would have thought.

Addendum to the low wrap vs high wrap discussion: We have 41% equity on the flop 3-way. So this is still profitable. Additionally, we are only "crushed" against the shorter stack and have nearly 80% equity against the other player for the $41.60 sidepot.
