    ok, as played I bet the turn something like $4.8 and got two folds and hated myself cos i'd already checked the HUD popup for co's bet vs missed turn c-bet and thought 'check-shove time fo sho, but what about the fish in the blinds'. If he checked back turn i'm definitely getting a river street of value when i bet.

    1 - neither villain can have the nut flush draw as I hold the flush ace. That plus the Qs being on the board means that there are also far less flush draws to protect than normal as instead of all Asxs plus a few random scs/broadways.
    2 - neither villain is raising without a hand that beats AQ, and KK/AA are hugely discounted due to preflop/blockers. So if I'm raised i'm toast
    3 - so basically it's about getting max-value. Max value means being able to easily get it in over 3 streets, and it means getting two callers on the flop. Better to bet $1.8 and go 3-way vs crap than to bet $2.2 and go HU to the turn or even likely take it down there and then
    4 - $1.8 is small enough to start to sow the seeds of doubt...h

    also, @daviddem re your sizing and frequency rationale = pretty damn solid for the micros. NH. Just one comment.
    c-bet sizing makes things interesting here. Your approach makes sense, so does sometimes c-betting just over 1/2 pot into two opponents on dry-ish boards. The math is easy
