great card for you....thats exactly what you were hoping for right? Thats why you called the turn right? I think you should bet 1000 here and fold to a raise. I don't think you will get raised in this spot....hope it worked out for you.....i think u have a pretty good chance of having the best hand here.

Need more info on UTG

You're not more concerned about the 2 deeper stacks behind him cold-calling a bet and mini-raise?

I had too many tables going last night...no reads.

Not really - Unless they're total idiots they would've bet the flop or raised the turn with something that scares me - So one has AK, and one has 66? I guess one could've flopped the joint, but wouldn't he try to get money in on the turn? If they had raised I'd be scared.

You think someone else checked through a set in the last two positions, or are you afraid of AA? Either way, this hand is bizarre, but I think you're still ahead more often than not. Call, check/call a non 4/9 river.

The only person I'd be worried about here is UTG, I just can't put MP1 or MP2 on a higher set than you. The good thing is that UTG is short stacked - you might be able to get a side pot going to recoup any losses to UTG. I call the turn, and then check the river.

Assuming a brick - if UTG goes all-in and noone raises behind, I raise when it gets back to me. If UTG moves in and MP1 or MP2 raises, I probably fold then.

Raise 1250 to 1500. If MP1 calls you've got a small problem.

I don't like the call turn check call river line becuase the pot will be too big. There will be over 2k in the pot, so check calling the river can be disastrous.

I like a push instead. Even with the 4k stack in there, a push is barely bigger than a pot sized raise. I can't see anyone having a straight, and I can't see anyone calling UTG's raise on the turn with a higher set.

UTG can have anything, and he's shortstacked, so we're not really worried about him. I'd say one of the other two players hit the ace (most likely 2 pair, possibly 1 pair), and the other has a 6. Combined, they have lots of outs, so calling and check calling seems much worse than shoving it in there.
