Bay 101 100-200, 10 handed. Button is the reason we're all there, but there are some other exploitable spots in the game as well. Anyway, hijack open-raises. Hijack is a good player who has logged a lot of time with me. We both read each other pretty well. Button cold-calls. This means he probably doesn't have complete garbage. He is very loose and prone to giving too much action when drawing thin to dead. I call in the BB with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. HJ raiser should be somewhat neutralized by the button and the button will pay me off big if I hit something.

Flop: T85 rainbow. I check, HJ bets, button calls, I raise, HJ 3-bets, button calls. I think for a bit and cap. Both call.

Turn: T(T85), putting two [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]s on the board. What do you think of bet-folding vs. check-see-what-happens vs. other? HJ likely puts me on a big made hand with an outside possibility of a straight draw -- he can make laydowns but given the possibility of a straight draw he might be a bit suspicious here. Button seems to be only a first-level thinker and probably does not have a ten or we would have heard more from him on the flop. He could have a gutshot or 66 or some other equally ugly holding. I don't think he'd make a big move on the turn in a 3-way pot after all this action.
