River play

CO is a loose passive player and UTG is basically a rock.

Hollywood Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 4 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, Hero checks

Flop: (5 small bets) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 handed)
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds

Turn: (4.5 big bets) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG raises, CO calls, Button calls

River: (12.5 big bets) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets, UTG calls, CO folds, Button raises, Hero ????

overcall seems best but i'm still not sure.

i like the overcalls. he could have QT and you wouldnt want it capped AND lose your other donaters. calling wins the most/loses the least

Why didn't you 3bet the turn? And then why bet the river, if you didn't think the turn was worth raising?

What was your read on button?

I don't really care. He's going on my buddy list. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I completely messed up typing that hand in. I did 3 bet the turn and everyone cold called. so pot size on the river would be 16bb. I feel so retarded for typing it in wrong and it is too late to edit that post now

Ok... so you 3-bet the turn and Button raises the river against both you and the turn raiser? I want to know that he's mentally impaired or an overagressive LAGtard if I'm going to 3-bet. I fold top 2 roughly never. Therefore I call and expect UTG to overcall most times -- we probably end up making about the same amount when ahead and don't have to deal with an awkward 3-bet HU.

Based on the action I think you are beaten too often to make a 3 bet any good. Go for the overcall.

I am so raising the turn again with top two.

Ok, after reading that you did 3-bet the turn, I would call the river and take UTG's overcall here.
