Default Re: Trips/top kicker vs. limp-reraiser

Flop is fine. I maybe just cc the flop to encourage people to stay in, but there is a 2-flush, and since UTG is willing to cc 2 more bets, it worked great.

Turn doesn't make sense--not your play but everyone elses. It looks like UTG and UTG+1 decided to slow play turn after fastplaying river? The limp/reraise makes me think UTG+1 has overpair (AA or KK) that he thinks is good against someone with a smaller 2 pair--who limps/rerasies with a 9 in their hand or 55 or 33 (though how can anyone can think they're ahead on this board without trips against 2 other people who are raising). UTG could have another overpair that they weren't going to let go PF no matter what, or possibly UTG has 55 or 33, or A5 or K5.

I think you're definitely ahead of UTG+1 and prolly ahead of UTG, especially since people will go all-in on worse hands (and anyone who runs out of money in themiddle of hand at limit is a lousy player anyway--imagine if UTG had the boat and didn't have enough money at the table to get paid off). So Turn cap is definitly correct, since it's just a side pot with UTG+1 now. Raise river because there is no way you are behind UTG+1 unless god really hates you. If UTG is actually ahead of you, at least get UTG+1 to pay you off.

(If someone was actually playing 78s like this, then there is no god.)
