The weirdest hand I've played at 6-max in a *long* time.

UTG is a maniac 65/30/2.6. Coldcaller #1 is generally loose-passive. His flop raise means he has trips here frequently. Button is very loose-passive. SB is loose and mildly aggressive.

Why are you checking the turn? It looks like the other two love their hands and you have the 2nd nuts right now. On the river I might be a little bit afraid of quads, but not afraid enough to keep me from capping.

nh, what can you do on the turn? Sometimes you miss.

I the turn check was fairly obvious.

With that much action on the flop why bother going for a checkraise is what I'm asking. These people look in love with their hands and will get into a raising war anyways so there is no need to get fancy.

If we bet, a raise from the aggressor(UTG) might drive out a player or two when we have the virtual lock. You're right, people do look like they love their hands, especially UTG. So why not check and trap the field for 2 and maybe more since people are more likely to call 2 bets once they call the first one.
