Does anyone take a different line? Why?

Turn: I check b/c I don't want to get check raised.

I'd bet that turn as well, unless you knew alot of guys would drop out on the turn. If you bet and 4 guys call you, you're getting value.

Yeah. And I wouldn't post UTG. I'm assuming it was a mistake. Not even I'm that impatient and I'm impatient.

Must be a mistake I was definitely the SB.

How about raising the turn when it gets back to you

If there's a good chance UTG+2 or MP1 will bet the Flop I love to c/r for value and a shot at the reverse free card in this spot.

That said, the Flop bet and Turn check/call look fine. I don't bet the river. That T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a terrifying card for everyone, completing the flush and four card straight. I will check and plan to call or overcall a single bet.

Aren't there a lot of hands Hero beats that would call a bet here? QQs or a 7 are pretty likely.

I would definitely bet this. Getting raised in not such a bad thing. You have 12 outs to very strong hands. You are about a 3:1 dog. If 3 people call your bet its is for value.

In my ideal situation, I would bet, UTG+2 would raise, everyone else would cold call, and I would 3-bet. It would be profitable and a lot of fun.
