1/2 heros second hand after sitting at the table with 300. No reads or information on any of the players.
UTG stradlles for 5. UTG +1 call 5, HJ call 5, hero SB 6

call 5, BB call 5, straddle raise to 30, UTG+1 and hero are the only callers. UTG+1 around 200, straddle covers both.
Flop 7

Pot 100. Hero check, UTG bet 40, UTG, +1 fold, hero call
Turn K

Pot 180. Check check
River 9

Pot 180. Hero bet 75, UTG instant allin 228. Is it possible to fold?

cr this wet flop to like 100 and jam turn. maybe you would have lost to a flush but your stack isnt big enough to worry about that.

if he has the nuts its a super weird line that i havent seen in hundreds of hours of play. im not folding.

also pre is pretty meh

I'm not sure you can get away from this. Stacks are awkward. We have 270 left. I probably go 110 flop, 160 turn.

As played, I'm shoving turn; flushes only make small part of his range, and he may call us off with Ad, top pair, and overpairs.

Don't fold sets. You played this so passively and are in this spot. You probably never make money if you play sets as passively as this. Nobody x/c, x/x, and b/f sets. Rack up and leave. This game is not for you. Sorry if I seem too harsh.

Just CRAI on the flop. It's a drawish board so it's hard for him to fold if he has TP+ and if he doesn't have that, you're probably not getting paid.

As played, UTG's line is weird and inconsistent, he doesn't really rep anything. You're probably beaten but can't fold at the price.

As played, hating life but probably never finding a fold in-game.

grunching.

I would min-raise flop. And shove 100% of turns, assuming it doesn't just get in on the flop. AP I would fold but because of the odds you're getting, a call can't be too bad.

Maybe go a little larger on the flop- CRAI may be better for maximum protection but hero may be able to find a fold here with an overpair if you do that. Educate me guys if this is backward's thinking haha
