Yes 3bet pre. AP-Raise turn. UTG is probably has good hand betting 2/3 into two players, if he is bluffing with GS you dont mind folding that out. River probably just a call if you did raise turn this river would be a pure brick.

So if he have OESD and GS is best to raise turn to put a high price to call his draws (GS obv fold but a OESD sure call) that only call and give he basically a free card OTR? I think that I call too much turn in these spots without FD on the board for example and only raise when the board is heavy charge with draws.


Even OESD should fold, but in general you dont want to give free cards to draws unless you dominate them or you think he will bluff often for big size when he misses.


As per the advice to boost activity in this thread, I would advise you to raise flop, raise turn, and call river. Flat pre is fine- people just think 3bet does better as they tend to play worse even non exploitatively in cold call lines.

Iirc this is close to a range check even HU so MW the PFR should not be cbetting here. In my experience and just logicially it weights them to a overpair, OESD or even the last 98s type holding. Maybe even 88 or 33.

RAISE THE FLOP and RAISE IT BIG. Put the money in when you have the nuts in a line where they are telling you that they have a incredibly strong range.

By the same logic on the turn once there's two callers and they still cbet turn, RAISE THE TURN BIG. There is no need for you to slowplay against a strong range here. The only hand they have that now beats you is KK.

The river makes me feel like now they specifically have 88, 33 and KK (maybe the one combo of 98s). I would be surprised if they have QTs (its possible) and they should never have T7s. I think I have changed my mind and I would advise to go all in although it is incredibly close.


The lack of flop raising makes me physically sick, UTG should basically never bet, you've got to punish that.


I push it and he have QTo... But yes is much better to raise flop/turn and put all the money vs a strong range and dont give him free Cards

I'd raise the flop. Don't see a point in slowplaying here when you need to get the money in against a small bet in a spot where UTG is probably supposed to never bet any hand and is going to have mostly overpairs and straight draws that aren't going to fold. BB isn't going to get out of line much.
