Hi Guys I would like some feedback on the way that I approached this hand.

This is my third hand at this table so not much info on villains.

Villain and Hero are both 100BB deep.

UTG limps, Hero (MP2) opens for $15 holding A:diamond:K:club:, Villain (CO) calls.

The flop comes: J:club: 9:club: 3:spade: $47 in pot

UTG checks, Hero bets $30, Villain and UTG both call.

The turn brings a 6:club: $137 in pot

UTG checks, Hero bets $30, Villain shoves all-in.

This was a clear fold for me but I would like some feedback on the way to approach this situation when villain hits his draw. Let's assume I had the A:club: for the nuts. If I check the turn, villain will most likely make a big bet pricing me out. If I make a blocker bet to price myself in villain will either flat or raise where the latter will price me out. Villain will more often than not raise the turn when he is not holding the ace of clubs.

Thanks in advance!

I think checking the flop is better. You have 2 opponents are much more likely to get calls than folds, given the board. Lot's of hands catch a piece of this, pairs, straight draws, flush draws, pairs, there is just too much going on to get that many folds.

But, if everyone checks the turn, I bet that flush draw about 100% of the time. You have a good draw and people have shown weakness for two streets If you get check raised, you can fold - people don't check raise the flop without a monster most of the time.

3-way pot with a pretty wet board = check/fold

In a HU pot, you can cbet often (almost always).
In a pot with 3+ players, it's not a great idea to cbet anything but the driest of boards.

As played, check/fold turn unless you get a good price for a flush draw. I think the $30 bet is spewy.

I should clarify - bet turn 100% of the time if both flop and turn is checked to me.

I don't bet here when I already bet the flop.
