[hit_the_set]

Party 2000 NL, Bison converter is messed up. Had to edit the hand.

UTG is a pretty solid player
CO is pretty loose and will overplay high cards and situations like the one in this hand.

What do you think of my line here? I wanted to maximize the pot. I was pretty sure I had the best hand on the turn.I figured I will get a look at the turn for 100$(virtually a free draw considering the big pot).

Sometimes, I am not sure If this is the right play. Leading the river the way I did. I really thought UTG would call but was surprised with his fold on the river. CO had just won a big pot with AK with almost a similar flop previous hand.

1. RIVER: Was this badly played( Should I have value bet the river?). Figured UTG also had a strong hand(from his Craise on the turn). Should I have let him lead the river?

2. TURN: How abt the turn action. Anybody see value in Check raising the turn?
