I'm thinking this is a good place to call the flop and raise the turn or river. What's everyone's line?

i like to know if he has the K while its still cheap... if this is going to get into a raising war, may as well be for the SB instead of a BB... I dunno, I am pretty noob still though... lets see what the guru's have to say.

I think I would just raise. This is most often a worse ace. If he had the K, my experience say, that he would slowplay. He isn't laying down an A, so I would go ahead and get some money in the pot.

Raise unless SB is the type to fold on the flop or the turn. Otherwise call, call, raise the river HU fold to a 3-bet. If UTG sticks around should you call the flop, I'd be more inclined to raise the turn especially if a draw appears.

Oh yeah and raise PF.

[@bsolute_luck]

i usually call and either wait 'til turn or river. if he goes to showdown a lot, then raise the turn. if he can find the fold button holding a midpocket, raise the turn.

the danger with waiting 'til the river however, is if he's on a straight draw and won't pay off on the river, so you miss a bet. w/o reads, my default is raise the turn.

I just wrote out this really lengthy response about what I think we should do, and I realized that we aren't HU, and that UTG is still in the hand.

So call the flop, and re-evaluate on the turn.

I like calling flop, calling turn, raising river...

Whats up with the PF check?

[teajay]

I think I would raise the flop.

If you're behind, you're way behind and you'll put less money in here. I think making UTG call two should get him out, making this slightly easier to play, but not much.

Do we consider laying down on the turn if UTG suddenly wakes up?
