There are exactly 5 cards in the deck that either Villain could be holding that would call your Turn bet. If you were facing 4 or more players, I'd say save your chips. However against 3, none of whom showed any strength pre or post flop, I can easily justify a 1/2 PSB.

Don't go crazy and get into a betting war, if someone reraises you.. drop your hand.

can't believe this worked. UTG must be looser than Pamela Anderson not to have atleast low pp and warrants a call.

Not worth it. Aces and queens are both checking this flop regularly.

Or maybe that's exactly what UTG has.

my meaning was that had UTG had low pp, he would have called the 1/2 pot bet on the turn.

What'd you think I meant?
