I'd push the turn. Villain probably has a weak ace.

[sweetkness]

Yes, bet the turn. Then you at least have a better idea of where you are going to the river.

[CowsFTW]

We don't beat a weak ace?

Its only $8 against some shorty on a board where you have TPGK and a draw. Its like having nuts. Bet $5 on the turn.

*grunch*
I would make a full pot size bet on the flop and bet the turn for say $5 - $6. Hand may play differently depending on the turn response. If he calls, I'm not putting anymore money in and with position I may see a free showdown. If he raises, I'm folding. As played, I probably call the river as well.

Also I know we don't have much of a stats read but with a high AF, the way this hand plays out, while he could have the Q, equally he could have a busted draw on the river.

Agree w/ weak A, maybe A-8s

Remember that UTG+1 only has $11.85 in the first place. Might as well push the turn.
