if BB was so excited to dump the rest of his money in the pot he would have capped the flop.

I assume you mean MP? I think there is a very good chance he will bet. The psychology is good and there are technical reasons too. Assuming he has something to show he really can't save his money (except $2.25) because someone will bet the river. This is sort of an implied collusion situation in which MP wants to invest his money in allowing me to checkraise so that BB can possibly be driven out of the pot.

I admit this doesn't come with a warranty but I like it better than betting into an OESD on the board. Even if it does check through you may still capture most of MP's money on the river so the cost of a free card is less than it seems.

if you check and BB bets, you are telling me you just call?

Oh yeah [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]. Loose/passive BB will understand our turn check perfectly because it's exactly what he would do in our place. We still have the big hand we had on the last two streets but the board went to hell on us. If he bets here he is a huge favorite to have a straight.

Looks ok to me. I generally don't 3 bet from the SB with 66 when I'm raised by MP, but if you have a read that he's on tilt/stealing a lot it seems reasonable.

I would 3-bet this most of the time. Playing 66 in a 3-way pot OOP is not an easy thing to do. You want to do your best to get rid of him.

check the turn. MP is about to go all in (or nearly all in), perfect time for you to check-raise with that is most likely the winning hand. If its not, then its about to get expensive [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks for all the excellent input.

MP had Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], BB had K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and MHIG.

Given the way he had played until this point, I was very surprised by BB's hand. I expected to see at least a turned 2 pair (often seeing the str8 I feared).
