Re: 5/10 LO8 -- cap turn with nut straight?
[ QUOTE ]
Pacific 5/10 O/8, 8 handed, loose, somewhat aggressive table
UTG is a good player. Hasn't done anything stupid.
UTG+1 plays like a hold 'em player (doesn't worry about being quartered, thinks any set is a great hand)
BB is shortstacked (2 big bets) and probably on tilt
I'm in CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and have been playing fairly straightforwardly.
UTG, UTG+1, and MP limp, MP+1 folds, I limp, button folds, SB folds, BB raises, everyone calls.
Flop is: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Everyone checks, I bet, BB raises (he's allin now), UTG re-raises, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, I call.
Turn is 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, MP calls, I raise, UTG 3 bets, UTG+1 calls, MP folds, I cap?

Thanks for the comments so far -- all very helpful. I'm fairly new to LO/8 and am still trying to get a good sense for how to think about these "I'm probably splitting or losing even though I have the nuts" situations.
I did cap the turn and UTG and UTG+1 called.
River is 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, I check.
Does anyone bet in this spot to try to fold a small flush? It wouldn't have to work too often to be right.
