I think reraising turn is a mistake. We have a few people behind us which may call and hit something on the river, if we raise we often price them out. I'd just smooth call.

i mean if you didn't raise flop , you want the pot to become big , if you call 3$ in a 4$ pot then on the river the pot will be 10$ big so you'll take somth like 10$ , that's not a lot of value . So with a draw like this bet flop and then see what's going on on turn

neglects pot buliding too much.

I'd always bet this flop: its paired, so there are only 5 cards that may have hit this board texture. Further, people that call have to play OOP --> you'll get a lot of folds. Even if you get called, you can take a free card on the turn.

As played: raise the turn! you have a monster. Either s/o has a big flush or a boat - then you want to get as much money as possible. If they dont have a real hand, they won't pay you. Summarizing, you didn't make enough money with such a big hand. Try to play these hands fast - even if you will get folds sometimes, the times s/o has a hand will offer you a much better payout as you typically get the stack.

I agree, as played, you must raise this turn. On this board, if he had a 9 or maybe an 8 you could well stack him. You won't stack him if you don't raise this turn. If you bet the flop you could have inflated the pot enough to make smooth calling the turn more profitable. Think in terms of expectation. As played, I would have to think UTG1 has an 8, so he probably wasnt going to stack off. But you didnt know what he had, and if he had a big flush, you blew your chance of stacking him since he could have got it all in on that turn
