Default Re: Messed up a monster?

I 3-bet the turn. Maybe SB will fold, but that's probably not a bad thing to avoid him calling to hit his 2-outer. Maybe he'll call, who knows. In any case lots of river cards will continue to kill the action (club/9/7). If you raise, you'll get one more BB out of limper, if you just call you'll get one more out of SB, same thing.

But river you have to raise anyway and blow out SB, so might as well raise now and get limper to call the river having 1 out instead of SB and limper having a combined 3 outs.

Hell, maybe SB has AcKc so he's not folding no matter what, so pump it up!

Just another voice agreeing with the majority of previous posters: get as much money into this pot as possible on every street. My own opinion is that in LHE, you make your money on the turn, so jam it up. As Captain R says, maybe the SB has big clubs and is tied to the pot, or he has AA or KK and wants to see the river. Just keep charging them to draw dead, or to try and hit their 1 or 2 outers.

Another thing to keep in mind in these situations is that by merely calling on the flop/turn it looks like you are probably on a draw, and your call may inadvertently kill further action if the river completes a draw. Wouldn't that suck: the river comes a club, it's checked to you, you bet your boat, and both players fold, incorrectly putting you on a flush, whereas one or both would have called a turn raise.

Raise preflop. Surprised no one has said this so far. Seems like a nice value raise for that number of limpers. Also does anyone 3-bet preflop if they happened to limp in the first time? As played I agree that we should jam it on flop and turn.

I thought about both those options, especially raising the first time, however, I always wuss out when it comes time to raise. 9Ts is an easy raise for me, but something like 22-77 is much harder, for some reason or another.
