Hi Joker,

Being that you only called preflop, I would have folded the flop and stayed out of trouble. However, by calling the flop, I would have definitely bet out the turn and called a raise and check/called the river. I don't see a reason to get all frisky in a large pot. You need to make sure it's bet. A turn bet may also fold a small one card flush should UTG1 and/or SB have something like Jx9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. If your opponents don't have a flush already, it can look utterly frightening, as if you slowplayed the flop to trap callers, then realized that it's 3-way and it's time to wrap things up.

UTG1 probably flopped a flush. The key here is that you called the flop and then FOUND what you're looking for. How can you bet/fold the river, rather than what I recommended in the previous paragraph?
