I think this has to be a turn bet. We're at the very bottom of our range and have zero showdown value but good equity when turning the combo draw. Also we want to put pressure on his Qx and KJ/KT hands that will often fold to 3 barrels.

Sizing wise I think it makes sense to go 2.50-3 on flop, ~1/2pot or slightly smaller on turn and shove river with our range. There's not really a reason to overbet-shove turn with our value hands, so shoving might look more like a draw to villain in this spot.

Preflop I think both calling and 3betting 65s is fine (mixing probably good).

Mixing in 65s as a 3B sometimes is fine and dandy. I think the cbet is too thin with just a couple of backdoors on a board that should hit two calling ranges in various ways.

HU, sure, you can get away with c-betting range with a small sizing on a board that is good for your range, but 3-way we need to tighten up some.

cool cheers guys thank you for advice. now that i think about it checking flop is probably going to be a better line here in a multi-way pot!

I'd be careful with squeezing hands as weak as this without information. It can be good tho.

Cbet is likely bad againts 2 players, simply because opponents have too many broadway hands for us to get a good amount of folds on the flop.

If you know both players are regs that fold a lot to 3bets the play can be +EV, but if one of the players is a fish it needs to win back a ton of money postflop that was interested preflop.

In regard to your question i think checking Turn is better here, in this specific situation.

As already stated, if you C-bet flop, do it a bit smaller, i think 3$ would be fine. But you don't have a lot of FE on this flop and as soon as V x/c i would be much more inclined to x back Turn since he is giving you a free card and you improve on Turn, take your equity to the River, it's free drawing.
