PF - fine, nice to see the huge pot

Flop - fine

Turn - I may consider just calling here, hoping for overcalls. The more people you drag along the better.

River - Go Team.

I just call the turn. You have a draw to the nut flush as well as the nut straight. You don't want to raise and force BB and UTG to call 2 cold.

I want them all to fold on the off chance if I hit an A or K they will be clean. If i can get A6 to fold on the turn, then raising is worth it.

interesting situation with a near all-in opponent. more than likely he has a face card pair and is on his way all-in. the 3-bet isn't too surprising, so I wonder if your cleaner A and K outs are worth risking the likely 3-bet. i think i would just call this on the turn.

I don't like the turn raise, either. An opponent with A5 is already gone after the betting was capped PF and holding bottom pair with A kicker (especially since it can't be clubs so there's no flush possibility, except for that person's opponents)-- I just can't see them sticking around. K5 will have a gut shot possibility, so it's cheaper to just assume they'll miss and see if you hit one of your many outs before investing more money than necessary.

I'm with the "call the turn" crowd (given preflop action, you aren't winning this unimproved, and I don't even know if your A/K outs are good, considering QQ is a definite possibility, and even if it isn't, AQ is possible as well). Keeping the others in while you keep the possibility of being 3-bet down is good, I think.

Otherwise I like this.
