This is a really interesting spot. And perfect for the multiway convos we’re having this month. So first of all, what is your read on the main villain? Are they flatting a lot in these kinds of positions or not? If they aren’t, they almost have no 6x in their range. Against a more studied opponent I would only expect the one combo of 66 to be here. Maybe some V’s will have A6s, but that only leaves Ad6d. So there are two combos of 6x that a reasonable opponent might flat with here.

In addition, one of the dynamics in multiway pots is that we have to be even more careful with low equity bluffs. So we have to observe our villain a bit, but if they aren’t loose and a little wild, it makes it exceedingly unlikely that they are betting into 4 opponents with any KX holdings.

So when they do bet this flop, I’m heavily weighting them toward Ax. Sometimes we’re chopping, but mostly we’re ahead. When it comes K and then K, this is a really great runout for all the reasons I described above. We’re basically behind the the two combos of 66 and Ad6d, and perhaps some slow played AA, and against more passive players some passive AK. We block most of those combos and they’re unlikely anyway. I’m calling.
