I considered it, thinking BTN would put me on AK and call with his bluff catcher. But I also wanted a chance to keep UTG in the hand, thinking she might call $75 into a ~$230 pot (forgetting that she has NO CLUE about pot odds).
My flop bet was very slow. I probably took a good 45-60 seconds to think it through and count out my chips.
Hero bets $75.
BTN calls
two folds.
We're heads up with ~$170 effective, $230 pot.
Turn is 3
I love the turn card and shove.
Overall, have I played this hand well? This type of holding multi-way is something I see 2-3 times per session at this game, and I've always been a little uncomfortable. The dynamic sets things up to play for stacks, and I worry about over-playing my hand. OTOH, I struggle with the opposite...getting mubsy even when I'm ahead of all ranges.
