-------

Anyways, the options are: fold (bad), call, raise/call, raise/fold (bad), and raise/cap, I think I like raise/call best, personally.

I think you should have raised preflop. Limping along in late with only one limper seems bad IMO. I think you should try to get it HU with the limper.

I think the flop bet is okay.

I think the turn check is good.

I think just calling with your straight at the river should be considered bad too. I think you should raise the river. If I get another decision in the hand I think I would generally call.

I would raise this preflop. Raise/call the river.

[Grease]

I raise PF.

I raise the river and cap a trey.

[Grease]

Actually, since they're passive, I just call a raise.

Against a more aggro guy, I'd be more likely to cap.

[DavidC]

Thanks guys, I agree that raise/call is the correct play.

However, I called and BB showed J5 for the boat.

I'd probably raise that preflop.

I'm not so sure about the turn check. Maybe b/f the turn depending on where the raise comes from?

As played r/c the river. You're ahead way too often to not raise.

[Harv72b]

I'm actually a fan of the limp here if we had a firmer read on UTG as tight/passive. A 16/5 guy ain't limping much from up front, but what he does limp always has KQ beat &amp; often has KQ crushed.

[WalkAmongUs]

i'd also raise pf and raise/call the river. I also agree with Harv's post on limping after a tight/passive.

[James.]

i would raise pf. make it 450 hands on UTG and i limp along.

turn check is goot.

i'm popping the river. calling a raise.
