Waste of bets? Best hand? Standard? Suicide? No real read on UTG+1 ... he seems to be too lose, but he's showing down not-awful hands.

Why not just bet it yourself?

You're risking 2 to win 3. I think I'd rather just fold.

What's the plan for the river if he calls the check-raise?

[Harv72b]

The odds aren't really there, but I think Hero has an excellent chance of taking down the pot right here. UTG+1 checked through to close the action on the flop, so he could safely have bet a Q or a J there (or both)...nobody takes the last person's bet seriously anyway.

Hero either gets check/raised by someone making a terrible slowplay, or Hero wins this right here. Especially with the pot so small.

[Derek in NYC]

Not a big fan of the checkraise here. The action makes no sense. If you had a Q or J, you would have bet it on 4th street, after checking through on the flop. So the only hand you could legitimately be checkraising is 33 or a spade draw. An aggressive villain, even if on a purely positional bet, might reraise.

And that's exactly what happened. Bad check-raise, I think.
