Re: a common situation i may be misplaying
1. Raise pre-flop. Your opponents will call with much inferior hands. UTG limping is okay I guess, because this hand plays pretty well multi-way, but I think raising is better.
2. Flop raise is standard.
3. The turn is sort of a tough spot. SB is quite possibly playing a better A here, but with 6.5 BB already in the pot by the time you face your turn decision, I don't particularly like folding here (though I doubt it's horrible). Considering that there is a diamond draw present, and that certain opponents may occasionally lay down better hands (again, this is like a 1 time in 50 kind of thing but it rules when it works), I prefer:
Raise the turn and take a free showdown.
Edit: The free showdown play is excellent here because you can pretty easily fold to either a turn reraise or a river donk-bet.
