Re: Huge pot, crap cards
FLOP: I tend to like the flop raise to knock out any A,K,Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in case runner runner [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]s come, and it could improve your chances to win with a pair of Jacks also, like you said.
RIVER: I'd cap. I think UTG is more likely to have 77 than or 89s for a better straight. 85 seems too unlikely for anyone to limp with, even a LPP unless he is a SuperDonk. He could have stayed in on the flop with 77 taking a chance he could have the best hand if no one had a ten combined with his 2 chances to spike a set plus 1 1/2 equivilent outs to make a backdoor straight. Since Villian is a Donkish LPP, he may not be giving you credit for a 5 or 89, although he should since you limped in from the BB.
