I cannot wait until I play aggressive like this . . .right now I am much more Weak Tight . . .

Don't you have to bet here - if not you risk giving a free card that could easily beat you. Bet and hope to win the pot right there.

It seems to me that when the CO failed to re-raise your check raise - he gave us quite a bit of information about his hand by the way. I would put him on AK, AQ, AJ, etc.

lead the betting? UTG's cold-calling is getting suspicious, especially if he calls between the two aggressors on a turn bet, but unless you have a read otherwise that's typical fishy stuff. you're likely ahead, you've got 6 outs to improve (maybe 5.5 if you slightly discount the 7 of diamonds) if you're behind, and you're likely ahead right now...

i suppose the question is really what to make of UTG's cold call, but the 5 hasn't changed things (except giving you a gutshot)... i'm assuming your plan was to lead out on the turn prior to the cold call, so unless you have a read otherwise, stick with it

since the CO could have trapped UTG and hero for another sb on the flop with a raise he likely doesn't have a dominant hand, no...

UTG may have a jack being played rather strangely (why not raise hero to force CO to face two cold? if has a jack but feels it's weak why not fold? seems to me UTG is being either fishy or tricky, and i think fishy is more likely)

but the bet here is for value, not to prevent a free card (although it does that)
