Final Pot: 19 BB

Okay, I'm 99% sure I have the best hand. The question is do I call and get UTG's overcall, or raise? I was shooting for the overcall as you can see in the hand, but in retrospect UTG+2 might have reraised me again, which would win more bets, and UTG might call 2 cold also (and hopefully be trapped for 2 more if UTG+1 reraises then I cap).

[btspider]

are you talking about the turn or river?

raise the turn, UTG may call two cold if he has outs, but not on the river.

Overcall on the turn = 1 BB
Raise on the turn = +1 BB, maybe +3 BB

Easy raise with only 1 opponent.

He doesn't have aces, jam jam jam.

Turn call is fine. UTG hasn't shown aggression and is just along for the ride. The 5 can't have helped and he might have folded to your raise.

I would put UTG+2 on AT and I think he would have called or 3-bet on the river. Raise the river because you might get more than the 1BB from UTG. If you put UTG+2 on AT then you can also raise the turn to make him pay for the draw. You're beat if the A falls on the river.
