Just want to know if anyone raises the river, given the action ...

BB is purebred guppy but UTG is a tag-ish 16/7/3.6 (but only have 60 or so hands on him)

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Leaf is MP3 with [Tc], [Ac].
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, 1 fold, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Leaf calls.

--->I raise this first or second in but with 3 limpers I just limped here. Comments?


Flop: (12.50 SB) [Ks], [Js], [Qh] (6 players)
BB bets, Leaf calls, Button calls, BB calls.

--->Bingo. Guppy and TAG are doing the betting for me.


Turn: (14.25 BB) [6c] (4 players)
BB checks, UTG bets, UTG calls, Leaf calls.

--->Guppy's check/raise and TAG's call make me think I'm playing for half the pot, but I come out of the woods to build the half-pot I think I'm playing for.


River: (27.75 BB) [9s] (4 players, 1 all-in)
BB bets, UTG calls, Leaf ... ??

--->The last friggin thing I wanted to see was that third spade (or the board pairing). Do I dare raise here??


Final Pot: 30.75 BB

I think you raise here.... If anyone has the flush, it's the guy who is all-in already, and if that's the case, you'll gain a bet out of the BB on this round and not lose as much to the suckout.

I completely agree with this. There's no way BB is betting/raising/whatever with a flush draw. Raise it. You're at least winning that sidepot.

unless the bb is a complete nut or he had the a10 of spades u shoudl be in alright shape and a raise would be worth while...as said in a previous post...the first thing that comes to mind for hands is that utg has a weak flush at most

Very interesting. And we don't worry about UTG for the same reasons?
