Default Re: Turns a boat, but does villain have a better one?

As played, am I the only one who sees the villian with AK, KT or A8 more times than TT, KK, T8 or K8?

Personally, I bet the flop. It's not that likely that a hand with an 8 or T raises UTG, but premium pairs, AK, and AQ certainly do. If you get re-raised, fold. You may knock out some of the AK, AQ hands than can easily draw out on you. If you get cold called on the flop, you are now in a good position to get it in on the turn against a premium pair when you hit your boat. I don't think opponent has 88/TT/T8 enough times to make any fold on the turn reasonable. If you don't hit your boat after the cold call it's check/fold the turn or river.

Lead turn and river or lead turn and river.

As played readless, call.

I think your line is perfect here. Sigh disgustedly and call.

I like the turn check as opposed to everybody else. The turn is really dry and this guy checked the flop, I can't see any hands checking the flop for pot control and calling two streets. I'd much rather induce a bluff from overs (I agree overs will check the turn frequently but I don't mind giving them a chance to improve on the river because they doesn't call the turn often either way).

There's absolutely no way I'm folding the river after this flop/turn play.
