Flop: (9.50 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.

I would go ahead and raise the flop call a 3-bet and then get nasty on the turn. You probably missed a bet or two but nice hand.

Toss up on the flop. You get an extra small bet from BB, but probably could have gotten the same from UTG with a raise. I like it, though.

I like the cap on the turn and the bet on the river.

Flop is fine with no reason on BB. If he really likes seeing the turn, I'd raise here. As it is, you probably get the most value by waiting.

This was a definite reraise on the flop. You made trips, you have to play that hand really strong and punish him for whatever he came in with (possibly overcards!) You're winning against ANY hand he came in with right now.

The 7 doesn't threaten you either. The board is semi-coordinated, do you really think he 3-bet PF with something that is helped by the 7? Good job capping.

Good river. I say you missed out on the flop, but maybe you felt like you could wring him for more BB on the turn if you didn't scare him on the flop first. I don't play 6-max so maybe that is a good play there.

Otherwise well done.

I think we can 3-bet the flop here. We don't know if BB is going to even call one bet, but UTG's LRR indicates he wants to go to war (and doesn't have the brains to stop).

I think the LRR is a pretty crucial part of the hand to look at.

Every time I've seen a limp-re-raise the guy has turned over AA, and usually overplayed it all the way.

I think you missed a few bets on the flop, raising might have knocked out BB but I think UTG would have capped the flop with you getting moremoney in the pot overall. limp-reraisers just don't know how to fold pocket rockets.

While I think that the villain would have capped the flop if I had 3-bet, I'm not sure tha the would have been willing to cap the turn.

FWIW, villain showed KK.
