Meh. Nothing special about this hand. Just curious if I'm starting to peel a bit too loosely. Simple reads: UTG will bet flops like these all day. He does not necessarily have an Ace or a draw here -- he just likes to stab at a lot of flops. He'll do the same on the turn and river unless challenged (or unless he has a real hand). I have yet to see him check the turn after betting the flop when everyone else just called on the flop.
Seems to me that A) my relative position is excellent. B) My odds are a bit thin and there are likely to be lots of draws out on this flop that can leave me hanging dry on the river when/if I hit a 5-outer. However, no one at this table is tight nor capable of laying down an Ace to a turn checkraise. Aggression at the table has also been easy to read, as it means I'm facing 2P or better in general.
