Raise larger over the limp and take the flop stab with our equity rather than giving up multiway.

Flop Analysis

We should usually take a small stab here: we have range advantage, two ways to improve (gutshot + backdoor nut diamonds), and fold equity even multiway. **Ranges:** As the preflop raiser our range contains strong overpairs, better Ax and broadways that connect reasonably with a low board, while the limp–call range is capped toward small/mid pairs and suited junk like 54s/76s. A5 with a gutshot and nut-diamond backdoor is one of the better "air" candidates to leverage that range advantage. **Board:** The low, semi-wet texture hits the limper somewhat, but our overpairs and better Ax are still well ahead; multiway we don’t blast, but a small c‑bet still folds out a lot of high-card hands from both players. **Plan:** Bet small (around 1.8–2.2bb), barrel good turns (A, 4, diamond, overcard to 9) and mostly shut down on bad ones when called in two spots. --- > **Takeaway:** In multiway limped pots you iso, you also need to follow through with small c-bets on good textures when you hold live equity and range advantage.

Note: Checking gives up a profitable small c-bet with strong equity and range advantage; over-folding the flop multiway is a leak at this SPR.

Turn Analysis

Once we’ve checked flop and both opponents check again, checking turn is fine — our gutshot alone doesn’t justify starting a bluff line into two uncapped ranges.

River Analysis

River is a close bluff candidate, but checking back is acceptable multiway: we have no showdown, yet population calls too often with any pair in these spots.

Note: From a pure GTO view we probably want some A-high/wheel-gutter combos to bluff here after triple checks, but versus typical multiway calling tendencies, not stabbing is reasonable.
