I would've raised if UTG2 came along, but i figure id let UTG bet at it again. Ive been experimenting in these situations recently.

Looks good.

I don't see a problem with your play, although, I'd still be inclined to raise the turn. But, like I said, I like the line you took.

against that opponenet, I really like this play, however it's very specific as I'm sure you know.

I like the way you played this, however I think you should have raised the turn. I understand your reasoning for just calling, but it seems to me that at 70/19 UTG is a massive LAG and he did bet into you again on the turn after you 3-bet him on the flop. I would raise him and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he bet into you again on the river.

Against a more normal opponent letting them bet again before you raise in a situation like that is good, but against this guy you just want to give him as many chances as possible to put more money into the pot.

Re: sorta stop and go?
 

i raise the turn. i figure he'll call, and if he checks the river and you bet he will probably call too. thus 3 bets (which you ended up getting) with the oppurtunity for more.

by only calling the turn you could be limiting yourself to only making 2 big bets if he chooses not to bet out on the river.
