I think it's fine, although to be honest I think most of the time UTG+2 has two pair and then gets scared when you 3-bet. I think that's what a typical party player has/would do. I don't think he is raising you with a king, lower kicker, but he also probably doesn't have AK since most people would 3-bet preflop.

My guess is you're looking at two pair, but they're now scared you have a straight, probably ignoring the fact that you raised PF.

Given the action I think betting the turn is okay and you're probably to have to call a bet anyway if you check.

On the river, obviously bet if you hit, and I would also probably bet even when you don't, as like I said before, I think these guys will bet out if you check, but you may run into some really weak players that will fold two pair if they think you have a straight.

Not often. Maybe 1% of the time, but if the action will be the same if he checks and calls, this is 1% more of the pot that he gets.

I don't see a problem with it. You have TPGK and a couple draws.

No one reraised you preflop, so you can't be worried about AK or KK. If someone has 2 pair or a straight, you have outs.

I was just saying they won't fold two pair. I'm still betting the river though [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I will cordially accept and encourage the criticism offered by three pre-flop cold-callers. And now they're upset ... delicious. Good table selection.
