I thought about 3-betting preflop, but double-paired hands do better multiway, so I called.

I flop middle set. I block the NF, which would support checking back (because I block opponent's calling range). However, we're multway and I unblock JQ, so there are lots of straight draws out there.

Should I bet full pot when the turn bricks?

What do you mean by "lots of straight draws"? They can have gutshots on that board, and only to Q/J. Betting turn is fine.


I meant, lots of hand combos will have gutshots.

Is there any merit to betting the turn a smaller sizing, with the goal of inducing Qxxx or Jxxx to call?


Gutshots should not be calling anyway. I would have just one sizing in this spot.
