I think you can see the hand here ^. Its early stages of big $8.80. Player 5 is running 26/16 after 19 hands on pokertracker which means very little but Player 8 is very bad and called 3 streets of value with 92s bottom pair 2 on K2J x after I check raisied him on the flop, then bet turn and river.

I feel like that there is a much better line available than the spewy way I played the hand on the video. I didnt bet the turn because I thought player 5 may have TT QQ JJ or AK with A hearts and probably won't be folding. However I may be able to get some value on the river if another heart comes, especially against player 8, so I wanted to keep him in the pot. Player 8 could literally have any 2 cards.

I'm not 100% on my flop bet, anyone have any thoughts on alternate lines or different opinions of villains ranges?

I would reccomend raising bigger with AK when it's the fish's BB. Preflop call is good because we want to keep the fish in the pot. If he had not called, it would be pretty close to calling and folding to the 3.5x 3b. I like check raising the flop with the intention of getting it in because it allows the 3bettor to cb and the loose fish to put $ in with a wide range. Then we can squeeze shove and usually shut out one other player's equity.

I don't mind the flop lead as long as you intend to GII vs a raise with the low SPR. Leading has the disadvantage of shutting out the fish from putting money in the pot if the 3bettor raises. After two calls on the flop, I would just shut down and hope to see a free card.
