20/40 Commerce - Playing Defense... with the 2nd nuts.

Okay, the main villain in this hand is kinda "insane" by pro poker player standards - a few orbits ago he raises to 200 and calls a re-raise to 600 from the SB after some discussion (who had about 3000 total), then INSTA-CALLS and all-in for 2400 more or so with 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] board. And makes it. He has maybe 8k and I cover.

UTG (12k'ish) raises to 180, all fold and I call with J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the Button, Villain calls from SB, BB folds.

Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (~600)
SB checks, UTG checks, I decide to get tricky and check.

Turn: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (~600)
SB checks, UTG bets 400, I raise to 1200... SB instantly screams "Raise!!" and makes it 2600. UTG folds, I call.

River: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (~5800)
SB bets out 2600, I call.
