Maybe I'm stupid, but given player descriptions and action I would expect UTG to have a flush in this spot and SB a big pair. Yes/no?

EDIT: If anyone has a flush, which I don't think they do at this point.

The raise on the flop makes no sense to me. Even if you were looking for a free card, your draw was too weak to be worth it.

im assuming it's to free up possible outs with a T or 9.

i still dont like the raise however.

turn is a must bet imo. the real question is what to do if it gets raised. i like a call and maybe even a river lead depending on the card and the player(s).

why a stop and go?

One reason is that a diamond on the river 3 ways will almost always kill hero's hand.

You guys act as if we can never win without showdown.

I shouldn't have said capping preflop was pointless before. If there is a chance Russ will fold then I actually think capping is the best play. However I seriously doubt someone who is on tilt and wondering why he finds himself in such a "low stakes" game is going to fold for 2 more bets after he straddles.

Re: 40 T9s in the BB, more than one street to play. EDITED
 

Pre-flop: Your hand has too much value to fold against a spewtard on whom you have position and a tilttard. So the only choice would be between calling and capping. I don't see what would be accomplished by capping against these two, so call seems better.

Flop: Again, nobody's going anywhere to a raise, so I would have preferred a call, given that straddler is probably raising the flop like 99.7% of the time, maybe even 99.8.

Turn: Hit 'em over the head with a hammer. Bet and re-raise.

Wow. I would give serious thought here to one of them having a flush. Please come play at my table.
