SB's action seems VERY strong. check/call raise?
I dunno.
Though he seems do play donkish given your read, I think I push this.
UTG's action looks a bit like a high pair or a set, more likely the pair.

i would make a psb on the flop, but it seems like good spot to get it in.

Nicely played, I 3 bet all in. If you're beat your beat. With no real reads I play 2 pair like the nuts.

Having a read that SB is probably bad means the money needs to go in here, and it almost always should anyway. Put it in on the flop before scare cards come.

a strong hand on what could soon become a very dangerous board ; im most concerned about the cold caller there but your read would eliminate most of that worry. im getting it in here.

I would easily fold this. I bet you lost this hand for one reason or another. Let it go. You have a strong bet and a cold call. Let it go.

you're the first person to say fold and i think you have a valid "argument," care to elaborate?

I also earlier tonight was gonna say i might fold it but then read everybody else's post and decided i'm just an idiot. Reason being how often do you win with 2 pair when somebody checkes, then u bet, somebody re-raises and then the original checker flat calls? I'm probably just a nit but we have close to 30bb. I say let them fight it out.
