Why did you just call the flop? 3-bet unless you have a plan or a read on UTG that he's only capping with AA.

Cap that turn all day long.

Wow, the river sucks. Good fold.

*grunch*

Preflop seems pretty standard.

I might have been inclined to 3-bet the flop. UTG might raise with anything here, though I'd say TPTK or a set. 3-betting gives you the best chance at isolating UTG and winning the pot.

Given the way you played it, I'd have capped the turn.

Lame river card, but I think the flop 3-bet might have gotten the straight draw out of this pot.

No one who was calling 2 on the flop is going to fold for 3.

Also, don't post results, but this:

is why you should never stop betting when you have the nuts, even when you're "sure" you're splitting the pot with the other guy.

First of all, you're the first person in 6 years on all of the internets to ever call me "cracker". Mad props.

You shouldn't post results, even in white, because they're still readable, and our brains read the results even if we don't want to. E.g., i read that one of the doofuses had AJ without wanting to, which might affect my analysis of the hand.

Also, the result really don't matter, so don't post them right away. In this case, though, you should tell us later on that UTG had T9o, mostly for entertainment purposes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I like waiting for the turn to raise in this hand but I think I would have been more glad to see a 2 than a K.

Capping the turn is now for value.

Good river fold.
