 Like 5th hand, no reads.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

CO ($6)
Button ($50.30)
SB ($25.10)
BB ($14.75)
UTG ($25.85)
Hero (MP1) ($25.20)
MP2 ($25.95)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A, A
1 fold, Hero raises to $1, MP2 calls $1, 2 folds, SB calls $0.90, 1 fold

Flop: ($3.25) 2, 6, J (3 players)
SB bets $2, Hero calls $2, MP2 calls $2

Turn: ($9.25) 5 (3 players)
SB bets $5.75, Hero raises to $22.20 (All-In), MP2 raises to $22.95 (All-In), SB calls $16.35 (All-In)

River: ($75.75) 4 (3 players, 3 all-in)

Total pot: $75.75 | Rake: $3

So, on the flop, I was thinking of getting more value out of hands like 99-TT, so flatted. In restropect those hands aren't really donking that often and I should have raised to punish Jx and QQ type hands.

On the turn I was thinking "I have you beat so give me monies" and made a committing bet with one pair in a multiway pot. That seems really bad. Is 22 the bottom of my shoving range on the turn here? Or am I overestimating my opponents hands?

I'm having trouble in multiway pots. Mostly just noticing that they're multiway and adjusting. This is just something I haven't gotten good at yet. This=leak too huge for 25NL.

thats a tough spot. JJ are very much in their ranges, and the action from SB OOP is suggesting crazy strength.
I raise the turn, but I think then that only brings the stack off from the turn to the river. it feels like anything from two pair to a set, or horrible play.. it seems like a tough laydown is needed ok the turn before a stack off, but I'm sure lots of people will think it's a insta shove. it is, as u said only 1 pair.

I have written elsewhere about the 4 basics of winning poker: Equity, Fold Equity, Expected value and Information. We try to maximize all of them, but different lines maximize/sacrifice others.

Your line is one of the best in terms of EV. You induced bets from ''hopefully'' weaker hands like J, QQ, KK, TT, 99, 88, 77 and A6. You also kept all players in the pot- which raises EV when there is no draws.

Most obvious downside of your line is that you do not get a lot of information. If any of the two players have a set, which is very likely here, you do not have much information when you shove.

On the other hand, your line is very bluffy (AcKc, AK, AcQc, AQ). Ironically, this minimizes fold equity- which is good in this case. A set never fold anyway.

Do not feel bad when villain show 66 here. I liked the play, even though there is other lines that give more information before putting in almost 100BB on turn.
