Hello guys,
BTN VPIP/PFR = 28/19
SB VPIP/PFR = 18/8
How could I do better to protect my hand's equity on this Q high board?
If I check flop, my range is capped, so the BTN can float bet to take the pot with any hands if SB folds, though I check my AA/KK sometimes on this board, but lots of my range is weak.
If I bet flop, absolutely I turned my AKo into a bluff.
So any good advice about playing AKo OOP in 3bet pot or SRP on Jxx or Qxx board ?
Thanks, and my English is bad, hope you understand what I mean.

This is probably fine as a X/F on the flop. Q low low boards are going to be pretty decent for your opponents in this spot due to their high frequency of Qx (mostly AQ) and mid pocket pairs which probably aren't folding the flop. Without a heart in your hand and with both players having stronger than normal ranges due to their cold calls, and having VPIPs below 30 giving up on this flop is totally fine. Also, you're English is totally fine.
Check/Fold is fine. Maybe Check/Calling and re-evaluate on turn with backdoor flush draw here. Many of your outs can be tainted here if he has AQ, KQ, QQ, Heart Draw, etc.
Looks good. Also your range is nowhere near capped when you check the flop here. Or it shouldn't be anyway.
Once SB has folded and we are basically heads up, is it ok to sometimes turn this into a bluff and check raise here? We can still rep QQ and bluff out his middle pairs and AK - possibly even SC on flush draws. Appreciate any opinions because I sometimes do this and not sure if it's spewy! Thanks
It's pretty spewy in a multiway pot. Even if one of the players folds on the flop, the betting ranges of the players in the pot are going to be tighter than in a HU spot. You also narrow down villain's range to hands that crush you when you raise here and have basically no equity vs most of his continuing range.
Agreed with James.
We should be very cautious when playing 3-way+ pots. Since the ranges are slighly weakers compared to HU play, the bets are more transparents than usual, a bet could mean much more value than a HU pot.
