Big pot blinding me?

That's a kick in the balls. Maybe they could all have str8's? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Yes, you need to bet the river because you want 1 to 2 bets going in here. Problem is if you go for a check raise, either everyone will check and you'll get 0 bets, or you'll be succesful then someone will 3-bet and maybe someone else will cap and you'll have to call and cry when you get shown a higher flush.

Chairman, I think 3-betting the flop is very bad, as we're miles away from having a nut draw. We need at least the 3rd nut flush to do that and probably the 2nd nut before I'm comfortable.

By the way, yeah that river cap sucks but I think you need to call unless you have a solid read on one of those raisers. Even then, what if they're betting a worse flush? Stranger things have happened. And don't underestimate people's propensity to get insane with AA, or misclick or go on tilt or have their dog push the mouse for them. In other words: Don't ever fold in a 33 BB pot with a strong hand :-)

Being Pacific the only hand I saw was Utg - KQ for 2 pair

WOW. I definitely would have folded.

edit. i'm getting this confused with some other post with a paired board, maybe the abortion one....geez i would be swearing

[Spartan1983]

No paired board. Utg had KQ for a straight, not 2 pair. My mistake.
