Again, I'm trying to incorporate more of what I'm learning into SSHE and this hand seemed extremely interesting. Interested on thoughts on how it was played and how to extract the most chips.PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is BB with [4h], [Kd]. UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, Hero checks.I know I should raise this beast for value, but figured slowplaying Krablar's big brother was best... jkFlop: (5.40 SB) [As], [Jd], [Th] (5 players)Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Button checks.Wanted to fold this so bad, but they wouldn't let me..Turn: (2.70 BB) [Qc] (5 players)Hero checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, Button folds, Hero calls.Ok, here's my thoughts on this. One of the two likely has me tied. Not likely we all have a king, but possible. I figure if I check/call here, I can check/raise the river and get 2 more big bets out of UTG+1 instead of 1 or 0. No flush possible so my only trouble is if the board pairs and someone had trips/2pair.River: (5.70 BB) [7h] (3 players)Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, Hero calls, UTG calls.Perfect, I have the nuts and go for the check/raise. UTG just checks and UTG+1 wakes up. At this point, I figure going for an overcall or is better than raising. Thoughts?Final Pot: 8.70 BB

works in botrh situations as you're gonna chop thin in most cases, so you might as well get some extra bets in thwere

id lead the river though, as even if you c/r, you're not likely to get even one more bet from the set or 2 pair that was calling down. and if neither opponent has a king, you need to get some money with the nuts.

Looking back, I probably should have gotten more bets in on the turn, while people still had hope of hitting their boat.Thanks for replies.. and you all will never believe was UTG had.

By the way, I seem to have contracted FPS.. any known cures?

UTG had 88. He obviously mucked, trying to save face. I about shit myself laughing when I saw this hand history.
