Tough or Easy Decision?

[mmcd]

Whether or not to raise the flop may be open for debate, but failure to raise on that turn card is atrocious. You have a large pot, a very vulnerable hand, and 2 clowns left to act behind you none of whom has shown any strength.


As you played it, bet the river when checked to so you're not put in this spot. You'd be surprised how often A-high is going to look up a bet-from-out-of-nowhere here given UTG's inexplicable river check and no one else showing any strength.
