Wow. This seems very, very optimistic to me.

His hand currently has a lot of value on the turn, and he has 13 outs to improve. SB obviously likes his hand if he is calling a 3-bet raise on the flop, so I dont think a raise here is going to fold him out. He is losing to the low set, but I think he is beating enough hands here to keep building this pot.

Well, okay, but didn't you recommend capping the turn and river unless the board gets scarier? That just seems maniacal to me.

I'm a little out of touch with 2/4 these days, but at 3/6, when UTG+2 shows this much strength despite the fact that three other players have also put in postflop bets and raises, well, the 3 available combos of 55 are really what I start thinking about.

If you want to raise the turn, fine, but I think putting in any more raises after that without improving is just reckless.

And I would just call the turn.

I think you are probably right. If UTG+2 3-bets the turn, the correct play is probably a call and call UI on the river.

Im still raising the turn though.

While we're at it -- I didn't notice what your avatar was for a while, but I thought it was hilarious once I got it =P. Schneids is better, though.

Schneids stole his though from another source, mine came from my company. I thought it suited my poker style perfectly :P

I did decide to raise the turn. With the added flush outs to the turn i felt i had the pot equity to continue raising but with the intention of calling down if 3 bet unimproved. I feel calling might be a little weak here and if we all think sb is not going anywhere why not build up the pot even more and trap him for 3 bets if utg+2 raises. All of likely holdings would sense that I am behind since I really can not think of anything played that way that I'm ahead other then maybe another J10

but is this one of those cases that if i can drag sb in why not build the pot more now that i did pick up 8-9 more outs on the turn.
