You were check raising regardless of the turn card yes? The river has to be bet as I doubt a hand like 77 value bets and calls a raise on the river after the turn check raise. No real draws to bluff and bb might pay off with a five.

You are not sexy here. You have 3 players calling your raises with few draws on board. Value bet.

Bet and hope to get raised. I played a hand today where I had JJ against a board with AAA... villain waited until the river to check-raise. I realized that had he bet the river, I probably would have raised him.

Check-raising may actually limit your action. The K is a great card to bet on.

Why not just 3-bet the flop? BB already cold-called 2; I wouldn't want to let him get off the hook on the turn.

BB was an uber fish and was a great candidate to trap for two BBs.

Rather than start a new LC thread, I'll use this one to post what is probably the sexiest hand I've played this month.

Read: Villain, obviously, was horrible, hence my PF call.

Way too risky. What are they going to put you on? Your river check will be confusing. Maybe he'll be confused into a bet, but maybe he'll decide you're chickening out w/ 99. You have 2 big bets waiting for you. Bet it.

good luck.

I like the hand, but I don't get the "sexy" terms. I realize it's a move somewhere in there, but...
