I put UTG+1 on Ac as his most likely holding when he raised. After he folded, I figured more likely a PP, and the cold call by UTG scared him more than my 3-bet.

I'm just thinking maybe I would've won a little more had I smooth called the raise and C/Red the river.

The raise/fold to a 3-bet line on the turn is just so rare in SS online games that I couldn't envision them both not paying me off on the river.

I like UTG's PF play too /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Edit: I also might have been overaggressive to confront UTG with 2 cold. Some players might fold his hand there. I folded top two on the turn the other night at my first time, first hand at a live 15-30. Flop-raiser flopped the straight.

I was drunk the other night and called some guy a pervert that was railbirding at our table. I told him perverts go to hell.

The smooth-call/check-raise plan probably would win you less than what you got this time.
1. Who'da thunk the raiser would fold for 1 one more bet? Had you KNOWN he'd do that, smooth-calling would be better to help him catch up.
2. The likely bettor would be last to act, so you'd be forcing UTG to call 2 cold on the river, and he could easily fold. Because of this, even if you smooth-called, leading the river is a better play. UTG will be in the middle (calling as per usual), and UTG+1 could raise.
3. The likely bettor could EASILY have been going for a free card w/ the A /images/graemlins/club.gif, in which case he'd check behind on most river cards.

You played it just fine, but just got unlucky a better river card didn't come.
