Hero 765 effective at 1/3 no limit in Florida.

Villain 1 300 effective (very bad rec who limp calls bad hands and raises good ones) opens to 15. Villain 2 1200 effective (decent thinking player with a good understanding of game but who calls too wide preflop) flats from MP and hero calls from BB with AsJs.

Flop comes 8c 10s Qs. Hero x’s, Villian 1 bets 40, Villian 2 bets 110, hero tanks for about 20 seconds and then jams.

UTG calls with AQ (which I don’t mind at all) and I got Villian 2 to fold 2 pair.

I just wanted thoughts on whether you guys think this was the most EV move in this scenario? My thinking is I have the most J9 here, I also Block J9 which the field only has suited combos of. Villian 2 is 3betting QQ pre and maybe 10s sometimes. Also, I have a pretty tight image and it was a Reg heavy table so I thought it may be a good move for my image if calling or raising to like 350 is similar in EV.

Thanks for reading!

Live 1/3 about 700 effective Villian who is a semi decent rec but calls too wide in a lot of spots raises UTG to 15. There is 2 field callers and hero makes it 90 with AdKd from BB and villian calls, field folds. Flop comes QdQc3h. I ended up checking this flop. I would be checking all of my range here for balance except AQs. Not sure if this line is wrong here? My 3 betting range in this spot is going to be super linear so maybe I should be betting backdoor AK suited hands for balance? Was thinking I should be playing a bit more passive deep OOP. Villian checks back. Turn is a 10 and hero checks again and villian bets 75. Should hero call or fold here or never be in this spot to begin with cause of an error on the flop? With his small sizing on the turn after checking back flop I also thought AJs and 77-99 were very likely here and 1010 and JJ would be bet on the flop. I struggle OOP in 3 bet pots and am trying to get feedback from players with a live background. Thanks!

1/3 Live NL UTG limps just over 300 effective SB limps 500 effective. HERO has KcKd makes it 23. Limper calls SB folds. Flop comes Jc 6s 2s and I decided to bet 36 (which I know is usually big but at that stack depth I wanted a lower SPR on the turn). Also , this player is spewy and I knew in a bigger pot this guy would call off light on turn with any combo draw weak Jack or possibly even 99,TT. Turn is a 6 of clubs (which I thought I should’ve sized out with my large flop sizing) and I jammed all in trying to get called by any Jack or combo draws and he snaps with 69 off suit. Another reason I took that line was because I thought it would simply my turn decision because he’d fold a 6 or 2 to my flop sizing. Is my logic incorrect here. Specifically do you have any suggestions or problems with my flop line? Or more importantly, do you think my turn jam was too thin?

Hello RIO! This is my first post on these forums and I am looking for some opinions on a spot I encountered in a live 1/3 500 cap game. About 170 BB effective 8 handed villain raises to 13 from HJ CO calls, hero calls from button with KJss (I thought about 3 betting but opening PFR is an extremely good pro and the blinds were fishy and would overcall with garbage). Flop comes Jh7s7c. Checks to hero who bets $17. SB,BB fold and PFR makes it 45 and the CO folds to me. Hero thinks for about a minute and calls. Turn is 9c and villain barrels half pot. I ended up folding this spot but I wanted to know if this is too nitty? I put his X raise turn range on JJ, overpairs, A7 suited and 87 suited with 89 suited, 109 suited and Q10 suited (with backdraw flush draws) being bluffs. Looking forward to hearing some opinions on this spot!
