Interesting 2/5 NL spot w/ top/bottom. Super deep.

[NL Rounder]

I'm guessing all the calling action in front pre-flop leads to the Q2 call in late position...not that I like it. What more could he want from the flop? I'm figuring the button must have had AQ or KQ to make that flop raise and then muck to the re-raise. UTG+3 is either very lucky and donkish with an overpair / JT or very clever with 99.

Maybe he doesn't get stacked if he doesn't re-pop the flop raise by the button and keep the pot a bit smaller until the turn. If I'm interpreting the raises right, he could lead about $500 or ~ 1/2 pot on the turn and perhaps save about $1500 when counterfeited on the river. The 8 is a terrible turn card for his hand though and the river 8 is blatantly uglier.

Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you. Looking forward to the results.
