Without reads, I would bet-call the river.

On another note, button's river call is brilliant.

Re: Very interesting hand, thoughts?
 

5:1 i like the call preflop and lead on the flop. the whole hand looks pretty good to me.

i'd make a note for UTG+2 after this hand. . .

ps don't include results.

Re: Very interesting hand, thoughts?
 

3-bet the flop.

Re: Very interesting hand, thoughts?
 

reraise the flop, you have a monster hand with a ton of pot equity (?)

Re: Very interesting hand, thoughts?
 

I would 3 bet the flop for value as you have so many outs to improve your hand. (15 outs to a straight or flush and 6 outs to top pair by the turn.)

I would bet the turn and then call the raise fearing a higher flush. So from then on I would have checked and called to showdown.

Now I will have a look at the results. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Can you explain why, please. I never do that!

you have an OESD and the flush draw. you have TONS of value on this hand. Button is cold calling and you have UTG trapped between. get the money now because they may fold when you hit your hand. no reason, at this point, to think someone else has a better drawing hand...at least, that's how i see it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Very interesting hand, thoughts?
 

Thanks for answering but I just noticed that I misread your previous comments! I read that you were talking about three betting pre-flop! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
