BB is 19/8/1.2 (170) and UTG 34/10/1.6 (95)

I checked behind here hoping someone had an 8 so I could congratulate myself on a brilliant play.

Not betting this flop is pretty dumb. I could understand checking HU but not multiway

As played VB that river.

[The.Accountant]

Why? There are no draws, and obv we don't care about overcards. Do you think we're getting 3 streets of value? I think we're just getting felted when someone has an 8.

[GrandMelon]

Just because we're betting the flop doesn't mean we're felting it. Checking it leaves you in a situation were you have no idea where you are.

lol, melon you're really off here I think checking this flop is fine, as it betting. it's certainly not dumb.

[The.Accountant]

melon likes to flame me lately...

you bet the riv delta, right?

[Rottersod]

I bet the flop and see if I can take it down right then. Maybe they put me on a cbet and call but I have position the rest of the hand so I can make my decisions with some more information.

Not delta but I check the river. What are we going to get called with? We have a good hand assuming no one has an 8. Do you want to find out the hard way and get c-raised?

[delta k]

I mean both betting and checking have merits on that flop I think. I'm probably jacking the turn up a little bit, too, since I'm not content playing such a tiny pot anymore. I'm betting the river for sure. But that's just one way to play it.

Betting the flop might be better giving the opponents, table dynamic, etc.

I think checking flop and betting are fine - I prefer betting.
Raising turn is good, and as played I vbet river.
