That Sinking Feeling in the Pit of Your Stomach

[KenProspero]

The question for this hand is when do you smell a rat and begin to throttle back after flopping a monster.

3/6 Holdem.

I just sat down at the table a few minutes ago, so no real read of any player.

Hero is dealt T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and is the big blind.

UTG calls, as do two other callers, SB completes, BB (hero)checks.

Flop is 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero (BB) bets. UTG raises, all fold to BB, who reraises, UTG calls.

Turn is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero 3 bets, UTG 4 bets, Hero 5 bets, UTG 6 bets, Hero calls.

River is Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero checks, UTG Bets, Hero calls.

My question comes down what to do on the turn. I think my initial bet and re-raise are correct. When UTG makes the 4th bet, my 'spider sense' is starting to tingle. After UTG makes the sixth bet, I'm very worried, so decide to just call it down at that point.

So, what is the right play here.

1. Throttle back when UTG raises.
2. Throttle back after UTG 4 Bets?
3. Do exactly what I did.
4. Keep raising -- you got a monster there, people at 3/6 reraise with garbage, and if you're beat, so be it.

I don't see folding on the turn or the river as even being worth considering.

Hand result -- Yeah, UTG had a pair of 10s
