Turn 2nd nuts in BB in limped pot

Turn 2nd nuts in BB in limped pot

1/2 NL. I just sat down with $200, effective stack. 5-handed. UTG limps, SB call, hero checks in BB with Qh8c.

Flop is AhJd9h and checks through. Turn is Td for AhJd9hTd. Hero leads for 5, UTG raises to 25, SB folds, hero calls. Should hero have 3! the flop? Only behind if he limped KQ from UTG/HJ.

River is 3c for AhJd9hTd3c. Hero checks, UTG bets 30. Shove, x/r smaller, or call? If x/r smaller, I guess call it off if 3!?

I think KQ goes bigger on river and usually doesn’t limp pre. I’d make it 75-90 and probably fold to a jam.


When effective is only 200, just jam.
It's only like what? 140 more for him to call. He's calling with 2 pairs, 78, sets and such. He's only folding marginal hands like Ax.

I probably like a turn check/raise, easier to get stacks in. As for how much that's a tricky question. Between 75 and allin is probably the size I'd go. Double flushdraw is out there, by jamming we could rep the draws. Besides some fishes will snap call with even just naked flush draws, if he got the combodraw, he ain't going no where as well.
By check/calling turn, there are lots of bad river cards, and you don't know if he'll continue betting even on a blank.


Without pot sizes I’d say raise/call river. lol at folding.


Shove river to get the max from 78 or a set (maybe AA that was going for the limpraise from UTG). Might get a fold from weak two pair but you already got good value from that hand anyway. Weak two pair might not raise turn and bet river anyway.
