It looks to me you got the most you could've out of this hand.

Babyshoes probably just has overs and isn't calling again on the turn no matter what line you take, and might've folded if it was two back to him on the flop. I like the line you take on the turn trying to trap baby shoes in between again..I think this better than forcing him out with a check-raise because he probably doesnt have much. When baby folds, the rest of the hand plays itself. Gambles looks like he had 87 or some kind of straight draw.

*grunch*

Link to Hand Converter - Check the FAQ for another.

No reads? OK, assuming unknowns.

PF is fine, but we could be in trouble with overcards on the flop. In a 5-handed game, I play this the same way.

The board is pretty ragged, but I like a 3-bet on the flop. At the beginning of the flop, there are eight small bets in the pot, and after the action gets back to me there are 12. I'm very content to just take this pot down now, rather than offer my yet to act opponent 13-1 odds. You probably won't win the pot on the flop, but you could lose it here. I play with max aggression on all streets.
