I love it when a plan comes together.

out of curiosity what did UTG and Button have?

[DaNutsInYoEye]

NH. You need to be leading the turn for slightly more though and significantly more on the river.

UTG had A2. Two pair woo! Button made the sucker straight on the river with a 5.

Oh, DaNutsInYoEye. I thought about betting $4 on the river, but my line was:

Two people will certainly call $2, for $4 more in the pot and good potential for a raise with someone's sucker straight or two pair (easy to say in retrospect).

If I bet $4 would I get two callers more than 50% of the time? I'm not sure. Would I get a raise from 2 pair? I seriously doubt it (maybe I was at the wrong table to begin with). So I think I took the line for best profits here, but I could be wrong. I do tend to underbet the river, it might be one of my biggest weaknesses (next to overcalling the river - I guess I suck at the river in general).
