UTG+1 is very loose and passive so far. SB check called down with TPNK vs pfr in a spot where I think he shouldve put in another raise, but he seems not as passive as UTG+1. 3 bet now or wait?

3bet the flop. UTG might find his way out for 2 cold on the turn, but he already put money in the pot on this round.

Raise now. You should be looking to get as many bets in now and possible protect your hand. This is a big pot now despite what your converter says.

You don't want gutshots hanging around especially if it is a suited hand that could pick up a flush draw on the turn as well. Three bet now, maybe you'll get lucky and SB will cap.

most obvious 3-bet ever to try to get UTG+1 to take a hike

The only reason I thought that this was close was because I wanted UTG to stick around with hands like J7, Q2 etc. These probably arent folding for 2 more anyway, right?

but you're planning on raising the turn anyhow, right? so who cares about that extra SB. your best bet for getting a big multiway pot is raising now and hoping they have something to come along with.

I dont raise preflop but whatever.

Jam the flop for the reasons already mentioned. You have the nuts and a big pot is developing. Getting folds is great and so is getting calls
