SB is 33/0/2.0 over a ~40 hand sample, UTG is unknown.

Stack sizes:
UTG: $111.35
UTG+1: $85.94
CO: $69.51
Button: $179.92
SB: $90.75
Hero: $98

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls, 2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($4, 4 players)
SB bets $5, Hero calls, UTG calls, Button folds.

Too weak? I wasn't necessarily thrilled about my hand on this board; I mean, I liked it, but if I raised and got 3bet I would have felt pretty lost. So, I called.

Turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($19, 3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $15, UTG raises to $30, SB folds, Hero with $77 left in his stack...shoves or folds, but I'm not sure which

At this point UTG can't possibly have a flush draw; so, does he ever play this way with set/two pair?

Id push. You are only worried about 89 and guys at this level overplay their hands so badly you get a ton worse hands to call you

Man, you should love your hand on the flop, I'm pretty sure. Your hand is vulnerable, but it's a monster.

I certainly like shoving better than folding on the turn.

Push. So many two pair/set/pair+draws/naked draws will call you besides 89.

FWIW, 76s, 65s, 77, 66, and 55 add up to 13 combos.

98s is 4 combos.

And, okay, it could be 98o, and all of the set and two-pair hands have outs against you, whereas you can't improve.

Still, I like your hand. And I don't think I've exhausted Villain's range, either.

I am happy to shove it in.
