No reads...have been sitting down for about one orbit.

Should I be scared on the flop? Should I check the turn?

jesus thats a nice turn. and yeah not pushing here is extremely suspicious you have to get it in. once called by all these players this is pretty much your only option besides c/f (which sucks) postflop

shove, pair the board, win monies

[KurtSF]

Why are you acting first on the flop if you are the button? Why didn't the SB get an action preflop?

[KingOfSwords]

Good eyes--the action is messed up. I'm the SB.

Should read like so:

turn is fine given stack sizes/etc. i like your play all around. whats your play with a blank turn?

[KurtSF]

I want to make it more like $15 preflop. OOP I'm fine with picking up the preflop action.

I'm a bit lost on the flop. I don't think anyone has AA or KK - they would have shoved pre - but sets are possible and the obv flushdraw. I don't know what to do if reraised. Nice pot though, so I think I lead and see what the action is.

Turn is EZ.

this is pretty critical, id say cf is the only real option? either that or c/r i think...

[Sigurd]

Why is a blank turn a cf? Are we assuming that UTG+1 has AA/KK?

[Tiki]

I'd have played it the same I think. I'm never too sure in RR pots like this as to what I should be doing though.

As played, all OP's and under sets are calling the turn. Do we fold out TT/JJ/88/77 with our bet?

Could we gain value by checking the turn (whiffed AK) and allow Villain to bet?

Could the same logic be applied in the case of a blank turn?

BTW, I would be pretty much pot-committed after the flop. I find these situations very hard to escape from when behind.

OP, interesting hand.

I'd be a little scared on the flop after they all call but there certainly isnt enough danger on that flop to shutdown with an overpair without seeing some serious aggression, a blank turn will be tricky to play.

Turn is definately a push, 78 is only a small part of villains range, a set is paying you off and a lot of draws may well give more value than they should to holding A/images/graemlins/club.gif so you may get some calls there, your arnt folding this on the river so you may as well try to get as much as you can from draws.

[Warteen]

Based on your "should I be scared" comment, Villain had what? 78? You can't let that affect your decision. A villain who wants to play 78s for 3 bets is going to lose in the long-run... that's just not justified by your stacks. Get all your money in, especially after that turn card.
