Re: better way to play this, especially the river.
At first glance I thought you were toast, but after staring at this awhile, I think UTG has AA quite a bit more often than a K (with a K, he'd often only go 3 bets on the turn, and he would almost certainly bet the river). Bet the river fold to a raise.
Flop and turn look fine. ZZZ |

Re: better way to play this, especially the river.
I think that not betting the river is a mistake.

Re: better way to play this, especially the river.
close one on the river. after capping the turn, UTG checks the river, this pretty much tells me that he doesn't have a K. He raised pre-flop UTG, so I don't think a 7 is very likely. AA seems most likely given the river check here. So, i think i'd lean toward betting the river here...

Re: better way to play this, especially the river.
River is an easy bet. He raised UTG so it's not likely he has a 7 (and if he did somehow, he would just call and not raise the end). If he checkraised the turn with AK, he would bet the river since he'd fear it would get checked through if he checked. That leads me to believe he has AA so I bet it for value.

On the flop: Yes - RAISE!! [/ QUOTE ] are you sure you want to raise the flop here and possibly stop UTG & UTG+1 to stop betting with their overcards or a medium pocket pair. We flopped a monster, yes we could raise and get re-raised here, that would be the optimal scenario, but I think we could afford to give away free card with minimal risk and hope someone catches a nice 2nd best hand. |

Re: better way to play this, especially the river.
Does anyone else raise the flop here. My line of thinking was pretty much spelled out by fat nicky. I"ve flopped a monster hand, i'd like to keep some people in the hand.

Re: better way to play this, especially the river.
I dont know how much I like the pf call. Even if the poster calls your only getting 7.5:2 or a little better than 3:1. I'd toss it here unless the table was routinely calling raises.
Calling the flop is fine here especially since UTG was the pfr and bet the flop. You can make more by raising the turn here and it keeps your hand better disguised. |

The pot is large enough to make folding the best hand for one bet a *massive* blunder. I like the rest. |
