Do you think my flop bet is +EV here? I had been kind of pushing the table around a bit and I wasn't getting a lot of action anymore. I didn't want to check the flop and let a FD get there for free but at the same time I wanted to induce a weaker hand to call.

The turn I'll admit I played poorly. My biggest mistake was not realisng how short stacked he was. I put myself into a situation where I couldn't fold but I wasn't actually getting the right price to call. I think I should have bet closer to pot, say $6-$7.

It is basically EV neutral for him call your flop bet. Why not make him pay for being a donkey, it is only king high and there are already two to a flush and two to a straight on the board. I would bet around 3.5.

EDIT: The implied odds would make the donkey's play +EV, if he got the read that you would double him with TP.

I think your flop play loses value. Your turn is +EV.

Flop I would bet pot in 3 way. Reasons;

1. Your image is aggressive, meaning opponents will start calling you w/ eaker hands. IMO this is the whole point of aggressive play, for them to react, not for you to start playing weaker b/c you want more action. - its like if I raise 80% of hands from, button, I sure as hell am going to raise from button when I get dealt AA.

2. Flop is drawy as a mofo. bad cards = diamond, Ace, possible strait cards etc..

On turn, id prolly bet 6$. I think the draw ads value to "slowing down", however only in a community pot vs bigger stacks. Your facing 2 opponents both who are short. BB does you a favor by isolating. I call his c/r all day.
