I'm such a whimp when it comes to playing poker. I'm just here to blind steal and suckout!!!

Other than the betting patterns I have no reads.

I think one of them beats you. Not KK, but 77, 99, T9. This is assuming they are somewhat solid. I can't imagine SB going all-in on a re-raised pot without beating your straight here.

At 11$ I would probably call and win my fair share of times.

[TruFloridaGator]

I'm hoping I can lay that down if I ever get to the 50s, so yes, fold =\

[gasgod]

Everybody just hangs around when you bet the turn, but then everybody comes to life when a second ten falls. Maybe MP1 just has trips, but SB almost certainly has the goods.

I fold.

Easy, Easy, Fold.

Any boat beats you, and QJ and J8 also beat you.

I think I would need QJ with only 1 opponent here to call this.

[willie]

probably got to drop it on the river

if i'm checkraising this turn though- i'm overbetting the pot by quite a bit.

2 potential 4 flushes on board, bigger straight draws may be hanging, 2 pair would be along for the ride- etc etc....

You stole my thunder, but I will post anyway...

Why check the turn? I guess it was so you could check raise, but why only 75? I would have made it 150, there is a flush draw, and someone could be drawing to a higher straight, make them pay to hit there card. If you are called making it 150, then you know you are in trouble. By making it 75, it is a no brain call with just about any draw, 2 pair, flush draw, straight draw, you did not price them out of the hand.

That's all a lot of interesting action on the turn card. I hate having the ass end of a straight though. Put yourself in the SBs shoes. If you had J8 or say KT in the hole, would you be just calling here? I dunno. FWIW, I always feel better folding when I know someone else is gonna call, and it really looks like MP2 will call.

[spiney]

With two re-raises on this river, there is a possibility someone is holding a better hand. I would have made a much bigger raise on the turn to obtain more information on what everyone was holding. Now that they got a cheap river, I'm afraid one of them has you beat.
