Re: Playalong
i would cap for value and protection and try to force bb out.
other options are:
calling and check-raising the turn. however, the turn may get checked through. also, you might not have a sufficient equity advantage to raise the turn. if you raise you may get 3-bet by the unknown utg and would probably have to fold not being 100% sure that you are not folding the best hand.
calling and donking a safe-looking turn. however, most turn cards will either be overcards or hearts and with two opponents still in the game you will have a very difficult time navigating any raises. capping the flop mitigates this problem because (a) you represent a stronger hand so your opponents may be scared to bluff you and (b) you may force bb out on the flop.
