NH, wp... there may be an arguement for cold calling the turn hoping that UTG calls again and you extract more value there... but then the danger is villain check/folding the river is raise is a semi-bluff... I like the play because a lotta players can't fold a draw here...

Thanks guys.

I think now it might be a way ahead way behind situation, and a check/calling is an option.

There's no way I could fold to any bets as he might have a straight, trips but also a better boat on the turn - so maybe I'm going broke in any eventuality. I think I'd play it the same way again in any case.

Most of the time you are waaaaay ahead... you are behind KJ, KT, JJ, KK, you destroy everything else... In this situation if you lose the hand you are unlucky... when you have a full house you need to think, how can I get ALL the chips in the pot...

The flop is drawheavy, so I prefer making a higher reraise in a multiway pot. ~400 chips something like that

there is always a bigger fish

Hi all,

I agree with this. Otherwise nice hand well played.

As to way ahead/way behind... Maybe we should consider this if we were both 500BB deep and TAG players. But this spot is closer to a cooler/way ahead situation.
