Wow, I hate how you played this. Could you give your reasoning on the postflop streets?

The pot is big enough that I want to try to protect my hand. I may even have the best hand at this point. Leading the flop gives UTG a chance to get over-aggro on his overcards and knock out hands like gutshots, backdoor flushdraws with one overcard, etc.

I couldn't think of any other way to face the field with two bets cold, either on the flop OR on the turn.

I'm really surprised this hand generated so much disdain; I thought it was pretty standard stuff, a la SSH.

Yah I thought you played exactly how you were suppossed to. I don't see how you can not bet out the flop, getting UTG to put two bets to the feild.
