Betting the Dead Man\'s hand vs. 5 OOP
 

Just average dummies in the hand, except the button but he folds on the flop. UTG is (32/12/1.5 over 70) the kind of player who likes to "mix it up". By that I mean sometimes he calls the flop and turn and folds the river, or bets somewhere with 9h, or slowplays. Very little method to his madness. The rest are too new for any real read but seem average.
What's my line on the river?
advice on any other asspect of the hand also welcome.

I bet the flop and turn to keep free cards from lone [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s and to make another A pay too.

Wtf? Why would you not bet the river? OH NO THEY KEEP CALLING!

My guess is he got raised and doesn't know what to do...I dunno. I bet too, but there are 4 freaking callers. I guess A6 would call or any A really.

No I wasn't raised. I was just wondering how offten we get called with worse, compared to how offten we get called/raised by a flush. If we do get raised what do we do.

Ok, nomad, post the rest of the river action.

It does suck to call a raise, but i don't see any way around it. Fold for 2 more.

yah I think a lot of weak hands will call here. esp like a missed FD+any pair. Those ones "protecting" showdown against the aggressor.

*Grunch*

Bet. You have two-pair, and no one's shown any sign the flush hit them. Why slow down now?

value bet and call a raise.
