Re: 5/10 IHAVEKKBETBETBET
I would have expected the field to get thinned when you bet into UTG and he raised on the flop. However, when you look at it, after UTG raises, any player afterward is getting 23:2 to call. A lot of players ignore the fact that they could have to call more bets if there is a re-raise behind them. After UTG's raise is cold called twice, the pot just gets too big for anyone to fold even a weak draw. If you just call UTG's raise, the pot going into the turn is 14BB versus 18BB, but that won't have much of an effect on the rest of the hand, so 3-bet expecting UTG to cap and two more callers seems like an okay line. You have an overpair and a backdoor flush draw after all.
Take a look at SB's play. Every time he called it was two bets to him (aside from calling one and a half or so initially from the SB), and then he folds on the turn bet when the pot is giving him 21 to 1 odds. What do you think he could hold? Couple overcards (maybe AK-AJ) in hearts or something?
