SB: t1640 54.67 BBs
BB: t870 29 BBs
UTG: t1290 43 BBs
UTG+1: t970 32.33 BBs

Hero (CO): t970 32.33 BBs
BTN: t970 32.33 BBs

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is CO with
UTG calls t30, UTG+1 raises to t60, 2 folds, Hero raises to t120, 2 folds, BB calls t90, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t60

Flop: (t405) (3 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets t210, BB folds, UTG+1 raises to t450, Hero folds

One reason why I made a continuation bet is a snap check from UTG+1
Is this flop good for c-bet ? what about c-bet size ?
In case I get called i would still have 3 outs for straight (I don't count J of clubs) and another 3 outs for pair of aces.
I think fold to a check-raise is a good option here.
What do you think ?

No need to sweet pot preflop. imo

And do not cbet on flop (you probably do not gain the goal multiway by betting here+this is not 3barrel bluf situation IP). imo

what's the structure? winner takes all sattelite???


in general preflop is just a call. we have a nutted suited ace so it plays fine multiway and our stack size isn't the biggest...

if it's a winner takes all i'm happy to shove this in preflop and be done with it, expecting calls from worse hands..

on the flop it's really not a great one to c-bet as we are likely facing a ton of broadway hands. vs one opponant i'm more likely to just c-bet and be done with the hand. but against two players, we are rarely getting a c-bet through often enough. and there is value to checking and seing a turn card which could give us the best hand..

also, since this is basically a bluff, and we're facing fish who don't know how to read bet sizings, we can get away with making our c-bet much smaller, so i'd be betting around 150 here as we save chips when we are facing hands, and we still get the same amount of folds generally.

Fold preflop, you already far behind here, UTG range limp like all pairs or broadway, UTG+1 min raise look very strong, most of the time UTG+1 will have top range..

About postflop, only check/fold flop you have only gutshot in multiway pot, on this board you already far behind..

Wiinner takes the ticket 2nd places gets slightly above satelite buy in

I don't understand why I would need to fold preflop. Since it is a low buy in satelite you can find many amateurs. I have seen it many times that UTG limp = all cards that want to cheap flop (connectors, one gappers,, low suited aces, Kings etc.
And how do you know that UTG-1 min raise is a sign of a strong hand at this level ? It is often just small raise without no sense at all with sth like A2s+ because they feel like having an ace is something and they already won the hand.

Isn't the call in position good option preflop ? I raised with intention of getting UTG out and other players out becuase if I just called they would have good odds to call and see the flop.
