    Default Turn low set, big action, biggish pot 5onl

    ok. Reads are important here
    UTG is 14-11 and will only very rarely limp UTG, low pocket pairs - not sure how low. Turn AF 0.25 River AF 1. Major weakness seems to be that he has a phobia of sets, can be pushed out of hands too often. I've been exploiting that too much this session.
    MP is 20-10 but fairly solid post-flop. Have him as a biggish winner over 1k hands. Has a tendency to c-bet too often and then fold to ANY resistance.

    So, pre-flop is fairly standard. Flop is based on reads - I scoop about half the time here - and for info, it tells me that MP has an overpair and UTG probably has a hand (draw seems unlikely given the board)

    Turn - you could argue it's the best possible card for me... I've got to bet it, but I'm not happy about UTG's behaviour earlier - his range is 22/33/77, guess he thinks my range is overpair/set. Once he calls the turn bet I put him on 33/77 only, he would probably fold 22 to this action (maybe not?)

    odds say push right? standard?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP1 ($61.65)
    MP2 ($20.95)
    Hero ($78.55)
    Button ($50.95)
    SB ($9.75)
    BB ($69.15)
    UTG ($60.15)
    UTG+1 ($45.60)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 4, 4.
    UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP1 raises to $2, 1 fold, Hero calls $2, 3 folds, UTG calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($6.75) 3, 7, 2 (3 players)
    UTG checks, MP1 bets $3, Hero raises to $6, UTG calls $6, MP1 calls $3.

    Turn: ($24.75) 4 (3 players)
    UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $15.5, UTG calls $15.50, MP1 raises to $53.65 (All-In), Hero raises to $86.05 (All-In) standard?

    i dont like the bet sizes. please dump the minraise...i know its a pet-peeve of mine, but look at it closely.

    pot is $9.75 when it comes to you. you raise it up to $15.75. UTG calls almost 3:1 and gives MP1 $3 into $21.75!!!!! 8:1. with deep stacks behind, he can call a gutter profitably here, imo.

    as played, i am still not laying this down most times. but, i puke/call MP1's shove.

    is 56s in his range? how bout suited A's like A5? surely this isnt an overpair like TT.

    i am not good in this situation because i play this hand VERY differently.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
