Re: Stars 1/2 oesd + pair... How do you play these
 

Flop call is good.

When the SB checks the turn I would bet. Although the action isn't clear I am assuming you checked and the UTG player bet and then you called after SB folded. After the SB checks you are usually ahead.

The river bet isn't good. I would check/call here and let UTG bluff because he isn't folding a better hand and he isn't going to call with many that you beat.

Grunch:

Flop:
Raise as the SB is leading here with a wide range, most of which do not beat you as he is up against only 2 other players who showed no aggression PF.

Turn:
Lead when SB checks. SB has shown weakness with two people calling on the flop, jump on it, as in this situation, you have a fairly strong made hand and OESD draw.

River:
I c/c lean towards c/c as he likely raises with a hand that beats you, folds a hand that doesn't, and most hands he just calls with have you beat. Checking gives him an opportunity to bluff a busted draw or bet a weaker hand.

on the turn, SB checked, Hero checked, UTG bet, SB folded I called. So it seems I should have raised on the flop? I see now, this would have ruined UTG's odds to draw at a straight, and fold out his overs. SB probably would have folded as weel
