another 10-20 hand

in a pretty loose live 10 handed 10-20 game i get KsQs 2 off the button. 3 players limp to me and i raise. the button and the blinds and limpers call. i wanted a big multiway raised pot for this hand and that is what i got. 7 big bets in the pot. 7 players.


the flop is Jh8s3s. everyone checks to me and i bet. everyone calls.


the turn is the As. blinds check, utg (a decent player) bets, next player calls, i decide to just call. everyone else folds.


the river is the Jd. utg bets, next guy calls, and i wimp out and just call. big mistake i think in retrospect. i mean, what's the likelihood someone has J8 or AJ? pretty slim right?

I simply see no reason why you would want to just call the turn. You will probably get both players to call because neither will likely put you on KsQs. If the bettor has a flush, he may even reraise.

2 players already in after 7 players called on the flop, I raise on the turn. Maybe someone with a smaller flush will reraise.


Unlikely someone has A-J or J-8 or you would have heard from them on the flop.
