UTG is TAG, about 45 y.o. Hero was card dead half night. About $400 effective.

Hero on the sb with T8o.
5 limpers, H complete, bb checks.

Flop is 897 rainbow.
Blinds check, UTG bets $10.
Folds to Hero.
Hero raises to $35.
UTG doesn't look happy and calls.

Turn: 3
Hero bets $50
UTG calls, again, looks confused.

River: Q

I think it's a good river card for me and bet $200 all in. Am I right?

Math geniuses? I relied on my read. Wonder what it looks like from the math prospective.

Not really we block some straights but JQ can be floating here easily, if we can take a free check go for it. If we have to bet $55 for some info or value bet .

108o can be a good idea I ran into a 679r flop awhile back. I flopped it with 5 people in a pot of $150. I was UTG and bet $115 , and someone call and someone shove with $255 effective , we snap and get paid .

But your flop 10J is golden, two pairs are golden , we don't beat much but a lower pair or a bluff . I don't know about shoving on this one pal, if you ask me it's insane

i put him on Ax type of hand. A7-A9. In 1/2 people love to play suited aces by limping from UTG. JT is the only hand that would happily call and I have a blocker. QT as well. I don't think QJ would call the turn bet. Definitely not calling the river jam. But a 9 type of hand would call on the turn and hope for a check on the river.
That situation you describe is an easy one, i do the same thing on those type of boards. Wonder if I was too out of line with my middle pair and a straight draw. Notice that if a T comes, I wouldn't jam the river or bet the turn. Also not sure if that makes sense but I had a plan that a T is not a good card for me.

Oh, I didn't see that you FLOPPED a straight. Huh, that's a no-brainer. Let's talk about some other situation, it's easy to call a shove with the nuts.

I was playing against only 1 opp. Well, bb was still in on the flop, if he starts doing something, I'm most likely out of there. BB was a nit by the way.

Hero flopped middle pair with an up & down straight draw, not the nuts.

OP, I don't like the hand from the reraise on the flop. I'd rather check call and draw cheaply to my draw. Don't go broke in limped pots.

I think you're fighting too hard for a limped pot here. UTG bet into 6 people so should like his hand. I probably check/call flop and go from there, really looking to hit a straight or trips.

As played, this isn't really a good run out to bluff. 3 on the turn doesn't change anything and the Q on the river doesn't change much either. You do though manage to take it down a lot via sheer aggression. If your plan is to barrel all three streets, I think you should size a bit bigger on flop and turn. That way river isn't an overbet (which looks fishy) and you win a bit more when your third barrel works, while risking the same amount when UTG has a monster.
