crai bluff is a very poor play here vs. an UTG raiser who bets the flop. I wouldn't expect it all that often. Checking isn't wrong necessarily, but there is a lot of risk associated with raising PF UTG. You've taken that risk and survived without a raise or call from LP. Now reap the rewards and take down the pot. BB probably knows you are on a very tight range that includes mostly overpairs to this flop. He will let you have it most of the time.

Now i may be way off base here, but i notice a couple of people are suggesting simply folding this hand UTG.

now the best situation to raising here is that you pick up the blinds, 2nd best is what happened you only get called from one of the blinds, which is what happened here.

Any reraise is a simple fold i would think most of the time as all that would be in a reraisers range is ahead of you.


If you get a call and flop the A/Q you more than likely have the best hand as i would think AK would have reraised you.

laslty the blinds are 50/100 and at this blind level there is such a strong chance you just pick up the blinds then say when the blinds are 15/30

While there is a chance you may get moved in on by one of the shorter stacks i think the rewards of raising and liklihood of stealing the blinds or winning on the flop with a c-bet outweigh the risks.

Just my 2 cents

I play exactly the same, value bet the river though.

Raising pre is fine with 2k back b/c you actually have room to make a c-bet. I'd fold for sure if I had 1200-1600, shoving if I had less than that.
