Good river bet?

He is loose but not a maniac to 3bet.
UTG called and reraised preflop. That usually indicated an AA or KK that was initialy trying to slowplay.

That is true. But I have seen loose players 3-bet with QJ or even J10.

The limp-reraise is questionable. Why would you allow people into a pot for cheap with something like AA or KK UTG?

I don't know. But I've been playing these limits for a while and every single time someone has limped/reraised preflop he has a big pocket pair. I can't explain why the do it. Maybe they are affraid that if they raise everyone is going to fold and their monster hand won't get any action.

If he bets, someone may think he has a flush.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's true but, as you pointed out, it's unlikely given Hero's betting pattern. Now if UTG+2 were to lead out...

If he bets, he may even chase away someone with a lower flush.

[/ QUOTE ]
Lower flush? Hero doesn't have a flush and no flushes are folding this river if they've chased it this far. If you're betting to represent the flush, you just need to hope there isn't a real one out there.

Marginal hands should be bet or raised in this situation.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think you're saying that other people's marginal hands should be bet (into) or raised. The read on MP3 is that he's loose, but pretty reasonable post-flop. What he's shown you so far (raising every chance he's gotten) should indicate that he's not afraid of top pair.

It's probably worth calling in this enormous pot, but I certainly wouldn't be putting more money in than my one-bet call.

"The betting pattern does not reflect a flush."

"The betting pattern shows that maybe UTG+2 and UTG are on flush draws and that is it."

You have to remember our opponents in micro limit are not as observant as we are here at two plus two.

A person with a nine high flush could say, "Oh no, hero led out with a bet - he must have a higher flush than me."

It should. But most of the time, in micro limit poker - it will not.
