This is a question i've been wondering about for a while, due to the fact that it doesnt really hit the board that often ingame.
I don't really have a particular HH to work with here, im just looking for how most of you would play a board like 333 with different holdings.
lets say the board was a lower card like 444 and you held AKo, how do you proceed in a raised pot against two villains?
If you held a middle pocket pair like 10-10 on a 444 board how do you proceed in a raised pot vs 1-2 villains?
Let's assume that you have Aces and you raise 5xbb and get two callers and the board comes something that is likely to be in the opponents hand like KKK, how do you play this hand if you throw out a cbet and get c/r'd?
How big of a pot are you looking to build in these scenenarios? Are you looking to felt the villains or keep it at a cautionary medium-ish pot?
I've never really seen this discussed and I can't really find anything on the search, because it is rare to see but i'd like to be prepared in the scenario to make the most +ev plays.
Thanks.

Way to general to given solid answers imo. Obviously if the board is KKK, and you have AA your wanting to get your money in. But other than that, it really depends on villains range. If his range consists of a lot of pocketpairs, then I would be weary with AK on a 444 board. But it still depends on villain.

I think that's right. I would also say that in no limit, I'd be very cautious about going all in multiway on the flop unless I had quads or a very high pocket pair, and similarly very cautious about going all in multiway after that with anything less than a pair of the top card on the board. The reality is that these are very hard hands to read, because you simply don't know whether any of your villains are holding the fourth of a kind or a low pocket pair or has paired to make their boat. If you are heads-up and villain has a broad enough range, something like unpaired AQ or AK can be a good hand, but bear in mind something else that everyone seems to forget-- if nobody has a boat, your Ace-high is vulnerable to players making hands like straights or flushes as well. (And don't ask me about the hand where my quads lost to a straight flush!)

with high pocket pairs, i will usually be willing to get it in. obviously there is a lot that depends, but since you gave such a general description i'll say that flopping full houses with high PPs = play for stacks. you cant worry about people flopping quads and things like that

That's the flip side of my statement. If you have a high pocket pair and flop the full house with trips on the board, yeah, ship it.

I agree. With AK I'm cautious and with a TT+ I'm getting it in.
