I think I should check this turn...??

[@bsolute_luck]

UTG+2 just sat down ~5 hands ago. only preflop raise i've seen is TT and cold calls with overcards (ATo to be specific). nothing postflop

BB is loose/passive. doesn't even bet TPpair. had AK in SB and check/calls down turned-trips.

<font color="red">Hero raises</font>, UTG+2 cold calls, folded around to BB, BB calls

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets</font>, UTG+2 calls, BB calls

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB checks, <font color="blue">Hero...??</font>

i want to bet, but i'm wondering if this is one of those "check with outs" moments??

I have learned my lesson being raised in these situations.

"Check with outs" looks good to me.

Edit to add that the pot is pretty small.

This could be weak, but I check here. You could easily be raised by the Q, and you don't want to pay two bets to see if your overcards or flush hits.

Against two villains and another broadway card falling, I don't think you're best very often here. Check-call.

"checking with outs" is difficult to do when you're not last to act.

I think this is a raise because you have 2 overcards (3 outs, might not be good) 9 flush cards, and 3 jacks (jack of heart counted) 15 outs i think is enough to raise.

I really want to bet this too. I know I shouldn't, but I know I would.

BB being loose and passive, taking a free card here might not be bad. If you bet the turn and UTG+2 raises and BB folds, what are you thinking?

i don't understand? are you suggesting to check/fold or bet or what?

i figure i'm probably not best, but my hand is strong enough to call if UTG+2 does bet.

[baronzeus]

Assuming you have 4.5 overcard outs, 3 straight outs, and 8 fllush outs (not the Q) you are sitting on 15.5 outs and 3 way this is essentially a value bet (if you think they will both call)

i figure he has something that beats TP, so i have to hit my flush or straight to win is what i'm thinking.
