Not many hands on UTG, but stats are 41/7/0.80. MP2 is a call station.

UTG seems sufficiently goofy that you can call here. You've induced a bluff by checking, you're supposed to call the bet after you do that.

Raise. You beat any King except AK.

Why did you check the river against two very loose opponents?

You also lose to any ace. Call.

I usually bet this flop. Not sure if that's the correct play, but I hate check-folding and check-calling feels very awkward.

I think I would have bet this river and folded to a raise.

Since you checked, I think you must call the river bet. Raising seems risky unless you are willing to fold to a 3-bet.

Even if he doesn't three bet, a raise is still pretty bad here.

I don't find this hand to be strong enough to bet into 3 people without some validation. While I understand I could be missing bets if I'm good, Ace-rag is really popular among players like these.

I agree that this would've been a better play.

I call, UTG shows (get ready) A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. MHING.
