I would say UTG has something like Ahxh and when he saw there was action on the flop he raised and then raised the turn when the ace fell. And BB something like AK-hopefully not AA. Nice C-R on the river. I wish I could play like this. My river play sucks.

Interesting.

I have to think you beat the BB with Tp2p unless he had ATh. UTG on the other hand, is a tougher one.

More I think about it, if UTG is weak, i bet he has a set...I doubt he'd come in UTG with the rags he needs to flop a straight here, soooted or not...

If hes not weak, you may have squeaked thru and him had 67s...But my guess is 33 or 66, and he only slowed down because the straight made it on the river (Its a very draw heavy board, and you cold called the 2 turn bets, so he migtve thought you had an OESFD type hand like 89s that got there- hence no river 3 bet) Had you 3 bet turn youd have a lot more info, cuz if he capped, you know your in trouble.

My verdict for what its worth is that he had a set. If your lucky maybe you chopped?

I bet-call the turn as he usually either has a draw or a big hand.
I dont think you can check-raise the river for value unless BB is very bad, but it seems close. UTG looks like Axh or 76 that slowed down on the river.
Maybe putting BB on AT is too narrow, but it´s what makes the most sense even though he doesn´t raise much preflop.

What were you putting BB on? And did you think that BB thought that UTG was raising the turn for a free showdown UI? Because if you don't think so, what could he have? A strong A? AT? A lower 2 pair than you? These all seem reasonable, with AT or a strong A being more or less likely depending on if he'd bet the flop there with overs (he seems kind of passive for this, though).

Just curious on your specific thinking.

my thought process was this:

hrm, looks like UTG either has a set or a big draw. my hand sucks so ill just call and fold the turn.

turn:

oh cool i have top 2 pair now, this is probably good unless utg really does have that set. rather than bet out, i think i will check because BB will probably bet his pair of aces now, since that is his most likely holding. hopefully it doesnt get checked around.

BB bets, UTG raises, oh damn, i guess he really does have that set. i call.

river: T

BB bets, UTG calls...

hrm, it looks like BB has AT now, but he could easily have AK and is just dumb. Looks like UTG definitely is beat here. must be 67. i raise.

results:

both players call. BB shows 88 (????!?!) UTG shows 67.

BB has a big pair, apparantly KK. Passive, free-limping players with a PFR near 1 just don't value raise without a monster. I'm not even confident that AKs is in the range.

UTG probably has Axs or 2-pair, which would explain his flop and turn play, but LAG players tend to do perplexing things with their hands. Then again, he could have a set, though the river sort of rules this out unless he is a clever player.

If you rule out AA (BB re-raises turn) and rule out a low set (UTG calls river), I think you win this pot close to 100%. That makes it a gutsy raise, but a good one. Does this logic work?

results edit: of course, for those times when BB holds a ridiculous hand, your equity only improves [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Fold preflop when it comes back around to you.

if you thought this, why didn't you fold? did you think there was a good enough chance that he was bluffing or semibluffing?

That's what I was thinking
