It's a Royal Draw

[C-Dog]

BB is 79/18/5 over 28
UTG is 62/7/.7 over 29
MP is 44/.5/.9 over 186

PF: I figure I am out of position, and calling to see if I hit is the best plan. (Am I wrong here?)

Flop: Well I nailed it, so I go for the checkraise, which ends up working perfectly here, since the guy to my left bets out, and gets 2 callers. Then it gets capped and I salivate at the size of the pot I will miss my draw on... (Should I just bet out here, or is the cr the most profitable thing?)

Turn: Well it worked once, lets see if I can cr the table again... It got checked through which I dont think is that bad for me. (Bet out here?)

River: Well I have the nuts, so I bet out finally, and the I get 2 callers and its raised back to me. At this point I decide that its better to go for the 2 overcalls, then the 1 from the reraise. They both fold, but that was my thinking. (Should just 3 bet and hope the savages call 2 cold?)

I re-raise the river every time because I'm sure that I will get at least one call whereas I can't really be certain I will get even 1 call if I go for the 2 overcalls.

Raise the river - if they fold they may have folded anyways. But if they call that's better for you. Take the sure thing over the maybe.

Lead the turn - whay would you want to try to c/r the turn? You have nothing other than a strong draw. If you think it might get checked through then a check may be OK, but a turn lead is still the better play.

1) You may take the pot down right there
2) Even if you don't you have lots of outs. Any J for the nut straight, a diamond for the nut flush, an A may also be good here (although I wouldn't count on that one too much)

If you check you'll probably have to call a bet anyways (you didn't in this case). A lead bet helps disguise the fact that you're actually on a draw. If you had led the turn you may have gotten your overcalls , even after raising. As it is you put a neon sign out saying "I'm playing a flush draw and it came in" (We know you wanted to, incorrectly, c/r. They don't. Of course the fact that they called your initial river bet argues for the fact that they can't read flashing neon either, but this is 1/2 after all.)
