Read on MP3 is that he raises frequently with weak hands.

NH. If your straight lost to a boat there is nothing you can do about it. Good call of the river raise. No sense in three betting that.

i'd be more interested in a read on UTG+1.

what do we think of not 3-betting the river? EDIT: I read the hand wrong. ignore that.

Check/raise the flop with 2 overs + gutter in a big pot. The rest seems okay though it would play different otherwise. Welcome to the boards.

A read would be really nice but against an unknown I think that would be spewing. UTG+1 hasnt slowed down the entire hand and now that the board is paired I would puke if my 3-bet was capped.

Basically no real read on him other than I've not seen him make any completely foolish plays like MP3.

Below are the results in white for your amusement.

 UTG1 wins with quad eights.

welcome to the boards!

you should check-raise this flop to knock out people behind you - you've got a good drawing hand here

awesome turn check-raise - I like!

river is good
