Money Hand with 87s
 

Probably got the best possible result for this. Any thoughts on the play here?

Hero is on button with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Preflop : UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, 4 folds, Hero calls, SB folds, BB raises, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

River (22.25 Big Bets): J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Could I have possibly had a better turn there?

not capping the flop sucks. the rest is obvious.

On the flop you have a ton of equity with a double gut and flush draw. Cap and re-cap that flop.

Well that's only because UTG calls 2 cold on the flop getting ~9:1 for what he thinks is a 2 outer. He played it real bad and you got one of the 2 perfect cards. Not to mention that he kept spewing when you keep coming. The fact that the guy with AA couldn't lay down his hand didn't hurt either.

And you didn't play it so well, as others have said, 4 bet the flop.
