    um typically fold pf on the button to an UTG raise
    bet more on the flop
    as played, you just moved behind a lot of vil's range on the turn depending on your reads and I probably just call this turn bet and look for a cheap showdown and say bad words for letting 2 people see the turn so cheap
    depending on reads I could also think about raising to about $2 or so and folding to a push

    You should always sit with at least 100BB in your stack. With a fullstack I don't even hate your call pre. Calling the UTG raise with a shorter stack puts you in an awkward spot when you hit a pair.

    Flop: You flopped big. Bet like you did.

    Turn: AJ just pulled ahead of you. You still beat AK, KQ, KJ, AA, JJ and any old junk these guys might have made it to the turn with. You still got trips and a redraw to the nutflush. I'm probably all in here given stacksizes.

    I didn't know about 100 bb. I started with 80 bb.

    This hand turned out in my favor but after I went back and looked at it I realized I made a couple of bad plays. I was also playing in the early hands of a SNG and currently had AK0 while playing this hand so I wasn't paying much attention.

    I called the turn bet without looking at the board close enough to see straight draw but I did see that I had a flush draw and fh draws. Playing too much offense here for sure.

    First of all, don't make a habit of betting less than half of the pot
    I mean, if someone was going to call 20 cents, they'd probably call 30 cents
    I'm looking to get this in for sure we have sick equity
    we have 14 outs against a straight so 28%

    but against your average NL5 player his range will contain a lot of JT, AK, KQ type of hands

    Fold preflop, ATs isn't a great hand vs a UTG open. As played bet more on flop, $0.50-ish. Turn is pretty sick, gives us royal draw and we have boat outs.

    Given your stack size you have to ship turn, it's unlikey someone had boated u

    Bet the flop larger, the pot's 4-way, someone had to have hit something. Plus, there's no need to get tricky at these levels, just bet bet bet with your monsters.

    You have lots of outs on the turn, there's lots of draws they can have, and that's some weak-ass betting. You should raise here for value. Even if you're behind, you have great equity.

    Thanks.

    So it looks like I should have:
    1. Folded to UTG PF bet or
    2. Bet more on the flop or
    3. AI after Turn
    4. Bet half the pot

    Results:
    I called turn and River was A.
    Both vilians went AI and so did I.
    Villian1- KJo
    Villian2-TJ0

    Hero collects $12.40 !!! I just about SMP
