i might limp in preflop (or fold if i were in tight mode) but the rest of the hand looks great to me. do we think utg has a flush though? you wouldn't think he'd put in extra bets on the turn if he were still drawing. so, if we trust that read, is a river raise spewing? i think i would probably just call...

Without any reads it looks as though the turn has improved UTG to a straight or full house.

UTG could also be bluffing.

You have outs to a full house (or quads) yourself on the turn and I think that you definitely want to see a showdown.

So without any reads, I would call the turn check raise and call the river bet.

I like every street, including preflop.

The only made straight possible on the turn is 32. So a straight is really
unlikely. A full house...if he had limped 55 or 44 which is reasonable..but
why the stop and go, then? I guess I agree with Fantam but I bet a lot of the time, you are kicking yourself for not raising the river....

[Fantam]

Thinking about this hand a bit more, a lot of players do seem to like limping in from any position with Ax.

Also a lot of players like to wait until the turn to raise with trips.

With that in mind, I like OP's 3-bet on the turn a lot more.

When villain donks again on the river, it probably is time to slow down though and just call.
