You need to be good 22% so one of the five, so sight call I guess.

Raise more pre, if you don’t know how much just pot it ;) in 2NL they like to call remember to use that. Standard 4bet size is about 22bb, so 44 cents, but here CO is saying he likes his hand, so you should go even higher.

Bet more flop, it’s multiway pot, someone is destined to have Q or draw here.

Turn just get it in (and with bigger pre and flop sizing this wouldn’t be a question to ask anymore), draws still call you, as well as AQ,KQ, someone needs to call with gut draw to have straight, well in realms of possibility in 2NL but still. Even he did that, you still won sklansky dollars. AA is the hand you need a good reason not to overplay it in 2NL.

And don't post results, not even hidden ones. 98% of us are not good enough not to get influenced by it.

Why fold on the turn, what was your read on CO? You were ahead to everything but pockets Qs or 9-10 you put him on any of those hands?

In a 4bet pot in 2$ nl what do you spect them to have? there is no tom dwan there, they only play good cards in that cases, you must call with aces the only hands that beat you there are sets, queen set maybe the other sets possible half or more of the times will fold against 4bet preflop, also the turn is a safe card if you pay the flop,and you have to think, if he had a set, that's how he spect to make the most value of it?
I understand your play in this stakes you get countless bad beats but you have to let that besides and play every hand the best way possible.

u did good ,but fold was mistake, and yes call always, good chances at all, flop not paired but has fd, pretty standard situation, just do value bets to protect your hand from dat draws thats all, but i understand your fear about mb someone has set?, but u can't always afraid `cause 7,8,9 appear on flop right?, btn mb played air, as it was, defenetly call here.

If you raise it to $0.40-$0.50 preflop (this doesn't scare off too many players at 2NL) , you get way more value preflop and build the pot bigger. It also makes your play post flop much simpler since the other players will have about 1.50 left and there will be about the same amount in the pot.

Thoughts?

I would bet at least 2/3 on the flop. You want to charge the draws and draw values from exactly KK type of hands. In 2 cents stakes, players will pay way more than they are supposed to so charge them as much as you can.

Yeah as everybody has said, don't be afraid to get it in here. Preflop you should expect at least one of either CO or BUT to come along, I guess you didn't want to scare them away, and that's why you 4bet small. Still, you could easily make it at least between 38c and 44c and still get calls from a lot of worse hands.
I think flop sizing is probably okay, since you can easily get it all in on the turn anyways. I suppose you could size it a bit bigger, like at least 55c.
I know it might look a little bit scary on the turn when CO goes all-in AND Button calls, but check-folding is literally the worst here. Just shoving in the rest is always going to be +EV on the turn. You dont want to give a free river in a multiway pot like this, so just shove in the rest and be happy about it.

2NL is a shit show, size your bets better and get it all in on the turn. only need to be right roughly 20 percent to make money and you are ahead there more than that in 2NL.

my thoughts..?
at these stakes, with that board, you should never be checking your aces o.o.p. on the turn, let alone folding them.

feel the force, luke.
