I hate this line. If you raise the turn you will likely get another bet in from BB. If you raise the river BB is going bye bye.

Given the aggression shown by UTG, I'd rather get as many bets in on the turn as possible. Doubt he's going anywhere.

utg sure seems to like his hand, but you didn't 3-bet the turn when you had a chance to get his money (possibly more from a lower flush or the great one card straight that's out there as well).

[pryor15]

UTG isn't going anywhere, so why not 3-bet the turn and hope for a cap?

i'm not sure about that c/r on the river either. i would think there's a damn good chance UTG has 78, 89, etc.

I really don't see why you don't 3 bet the turn. You're missing 2 bets that you're going to try to make up with a river c/r that might whiff.

Are you trying to represent a full house?

I don't think you should worry about representing the flush on the turn so I would try to cap it on the turn. You 3-beted the flop and they therefore probably will not put you on a flushdraw on the flop. On the river, when the board pairs, I would bet planing to call a raise. I think BB made a straight on the turn. I would put UTG on at least trips, probably full house since he bets with straight - and flush cards on the board on the river. If you raise the river you must think he only had top pair on the flop, but given the action on the turn and the river, he wouldn't behave differently versus straight or flush with a top pair or trips.
