UTG+1 is a TAG, 18/13.
I've been running over the table the last orbit, raising a lot and winning a lot of hands without showdown. Been showing down both the goods (AKs and the like) and light raises that held up/improved (QTs/77)

Hero is MP2 with xy
UTG+1 open raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, all fold to UTG+1 who calls.

Flop - 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (7.5 SB, 2 players)
UTG+1 checks, <font color="red">Hero bets, UTG+1 raises, Hero caps, </font>UTG+1 calls

Turn - 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (7.75 BB, 2 players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.

River - T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (9.75BB, 2 players)
<font color="red">UTG+1 bets, Hero raises</font>...

Should be pretty standard, post the first few responses in white. How could either player have played their hand better?

<font color="white">You have 88, and he has either 99 or TT/JJ. If he has TT he gave you too much action on the flop/turn, but if he has 99, I'd just recommend that he not let you river a straight again. It would be very amusing if both of you had 88, though. I think your play is fine, even if your hand is pretty easily readable. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]</font>
