I play it the same.

I don't mind betting smaller on the turn. He can easily have KQJx, ATxx, etc. which are drawing mostly drawing dead.

I lead $13.5 (sneaky, eh?). He might take it as weakness and shove, but he's also going to get curious and call with some draws and two pair hands.

Oh, and you're going broke if he has 22 or AA.

I like the underpot lead if there's a good read villain likes to raise underbets, but otherwise I'm not going to be able to play a big pot unless he has something. Hopefully the straight draw+pair thinks I don't have the full house. I also want to charge the occasional crazy villain who's floating me with KK to hit his higher full house on me.

I might have bet less.. because you really only want to "raise to the extreme" when you're trying to make the other player get less value on his draw. That board was fairly harmless.. maybe the next card would have gave his hand some life and you could have really milked it. Or that 2 could have gave him deuces full.. and you coulda just kept goin.. not he thinks he's beat. etc, etc..

that was a milker and i'm not sure you got the best outcome out of it.

I was on the table too , wasn't i?

Without a specific read , you are losing money by betting so much. Getting a call on turn is very important because they usually get trapped on river and call another bet.
