Id check raise this to see how much UTG likes his hand, make it like 600.
If you lead, hell probably raise on that board and put u on the defensive.
If you CR that flop, he calls and u lead turn..hes most likely mucking his overpair.

You think anyone is folding their overpairs on this board? I think that is a huge error in logic.

Personally, without a good read or table image as a tectonic plate, I only play on with position in situations typical like this. Any half decent villian will win this hand one way or another with or without the goods.

this hand completely depends on your opponent. his image, your image, the speed of the game etc.

you are in a very marginal situation and need to make a read, if you have no read, then just fold.

I agree. There's just too few hands for him to be afraid of and 22 or 66 will often slowplay.
In fact this causes problems with a check raise whatever he has because he could just decide you can't take any heat. The only way a check raise puts a reasonably tenacious opponent in difficulty is if he's worried about button.

After thinking about this hand, i agree that an overpair would prolly call the lead on turn. But i still think CR'ing that flop is correct. I apologize for my over aggression.

You are ahead more than 50% here. Call the flop, if he checks the turn, bet something like half pot that stops his 6 out draw.

I don't play anywhere near this high, but I think c/c flop, c/f turn can be a very good line. You snap off continuation bets, and most people won't fire two barrels with a worse hand. Often, people won't even fire two barrels with a better hand fearing a c/r and trying to manage pot size.

Similar hand from ML4L

perfect.

there is no right answer to this hand.

sometimes i lead, CR, or even check call.

of course i fold a good amount of the time here too.

Not to be a nit, but you're in possition so "c/f" the turn makes no sense. Other than that I 100% agree with your post, including, what I assume you mean, to folding if he bets the turn.

Read it again, he called in the SB and check/folded the flop.
