Both unknowns, I just joined table.

Can't say I was expecting the UTG to shove after my reraise.

Easy call as played and hope the board doesnt pair or bring another club?

Should I never be raising the flop?

Hero should just keep raising and try to get as much money in on the flop as possible.

Hero haz teh nutz and can get value out of a lot of draws, overpairs, and sets. If board pairs or more clubs come, then hero will either get valuetowned or have trouble extracting value.

Played fine and snap call. I am never folding here and whether you won or lost (do we get the results) you have to call. I expect to see an over pair and flush draw fwiw.

You have to raise since a club, 4, Ace, 6 or paired board will kill the action and kill your hand.

nothing wrong with 3betting there. but i'd just lead out instead of checking in the first place. people turn into huge nits whenever there's >3 people in a pot, that combined with the fact that nobody showed any strength preflop means they're all going to check around a lot of the time.

don't limp preflop. flop is fine i'd call, button is your biggest concern but there are lots of draws/sets/overpairs that will get in here. actually, i agree with last poster, lead flop, you really don't want it to check around and it's going to a lot of the time.

Hi,
I think flop is fine. Maybe a call hopping utg reraises would be fine too.

What do you think about pf ?
I agree with whahoo3.

I hate that small aces from sb. I fold or make it 2$ (8BB) to win it right now. What do you think ?
