BB trash turns into something
 

1 pair with OESD turns into 2 pair at the end.

No reads. Check the river? Fold to the raise?

pretty standard I think except that raise from UTG.. maybe he has JT.

Re: BB trash turns into something
 

Bet/fold or check/call this river. You are almost never ahead here when your bet gets raised.

Re: BB trash turns into something
 

Anyone who posts a late position blind when they are UTG is a moron.
My guess is Villan has J5

You should fold to the raise but I would probably be tempted to call one more bet since he's new and I will want know what exactly he was chasin. Overcards? The sucker end of a straight draw? or what?

Re: BB trash turns into something
 

i dont like bet/folding this river. You wont get called often by hands you beat but always raised by better hands. If you check/call UTG often trys a bluff when you show weakness and he asumes that you fear a straight. You see the SD more often than if you had bet/fold (for the same price) and youll often get money from weaker hands.

Villan showed down 10s 2c for the straight.

I think what I was looking for was a public flogging for giving villian(s) zero (or at least not enough) credit for the straight.

Villian clearly made a few loose calls, but I should've check/called a single bet. 2 left to act and 4 to a straight on the board.
