Final Pot: t380

this hand seemed awkward to me although ill admit that i cant think of a much better line. i would usually fold this preflop (ill admit to being a wuss) to avoid these situations entirely, even though it is soooted [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

should hero raise this flop (under what conditions would this action be appropriate)? when hero just calls, what is the plan for the turn? is hero looking for utg to shut down and hopefully get a cheap showdown if unimproved? how does the call by UTG+2 on the flop change the situation?

meh, this hand might be boring but its the first one that stood out so far.

edit: fixed the size of the pot.
