Button: 56/24/1 ~ 113

We call down here unless button pops turn?

I call down here as well, the only problem as I see it is that UTG might not bet the turn, either because

1) he doesn't have a good hand himself (high PP, weaker ace, FD) and is afraid of us or the button's coldcall, or

2) he has a monster and has a strong feeling button will bet the turn

None of this may be extremely likely though, and also, there's not really a good alternative line; perhaps donking the turn is an option but it can get tricky; we don't want this to get expensive, and at the same time we don't like folding.

Gib,

Do you think that UTG ever checks the turn?

he could check it on the turn with a JT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] kinda hand

I haven't really played enuff with him to be completely certain but I feel it would be unlikely given his aggressive nature so far.

does it really matter if UTG checks? if he does, Button will usually bet anything he called with: AK AJ Qx ect after u dont 3bet the flop and UTG checks.

And if UTG check raises u have the easiest TPTK fold ever. If they both check u have a pretty easy river bet id say.

I don't think the fear of it checking thru here is worth doing anything other than calling and then ck calling the turn.
