$4/8
6 seater

Reads, UTG seems solid, co is a maniac, who loves to be involved in big pots.

Hero is sb with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG raise, utg+1 folds, co reraises, button calls, hero caps,bb folds, utg calls, co calls, button calls.

Flop (16.5sb??)

7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets, UTG raises, CO 3bets, button calls, hero calls, UTG calls.

I didnt cap, as I felt I could be behind to a flopped set, and for one more bet, wasnt going to be getting rid of the draws.

Turn (14 bb ??)

7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero checks, UTG bets, CO folds (very unlike him to fold), button folds, hero calls.

River (16 bb ??)

2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets, UTG raises, hero calls.

I bet the river, as I didnt have him on A7 or similar trash which was my worry with the CO, I figured if he had me beat, he had QQ or quad 7's, although I dont think 99,77 are in his UTG raising range.

UTG had KK.

Is it results oreintated to think I elft money on the table ?
When CO folds to UTG's turn bet, should I have raised there ? Like I say, unless he had quad 7's, he doesnt have the 7.

Preflop is obviously fine
Flop is fine.
Turn - I lead when neither the flush or straight card comes and I hope that UTG raises. I don't want to see it checked to the maniac and then see him check it back and take a free card.
River - It is close, but I 3-bet. You are going to see AQ or KK enough times here. You are only scared that he has pocket Qs. You win 1 bb when he doesn't have QQ (or maybe 99) and you lose 2 bb when he does. There is slightly greatly that 66% chance that you are in the lead.

What Utah said. Although when you 3-bet (and you should donk+3-bet) the turn you won't get much river action.

I like it, I'd CR the turn to be honest and I'd have expected the CO to bet, charging UTG 2 bets for his hand.

I do like your river bet though, it sucks getting raised there but it happens. Sometimes they raise when beat too! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

He doesn't need quad sevens, as QQ and 99 will get turned over quite often as well.
