This is not a bad beat story. Opinions, please, if there is any other way to play this hand. Villian in this hand is UTG, and is short stacked. No other reads on anyone.
Party 2/4.
Hero is in SB w/A /images/graemlins/diamond.gifK /images/graemlins/spade.gif
UTG calls, MP1 calls, CO calls, button calls, Hero raises, BB calls, rest call.
Flop (12 SB): K /images/graemlins/club.gif, 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Hero bets, all call. Would it be proper to go for a checkraise here? My thought is that since Hero raises preflop from SB, most everyone will check around. I don't want to give free cards here, but what really am I protecting with the bet? Even gutshots have odds to call. Can this hand be protected?
Turn (9 BB): 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero bets, BB calls, UTG-Villian raises $7 (all-in). All fold to Hero, who calls. BB folds.
River: A /images/graemlins/club.gif
Can anyone help me with this hand?
