Hero ???

First hand with UTG so I have no idea why he didn't cbet this flop. CO fish is passive but he'll call if he has anything. I have two overcards (I'm pretty sure no one hit the K) and a gutshot. Time to take the lead here?

Nah, you have 1 overcard and i can't see a 44/8 finding a fold button a lot here, theres enough draws on the board as it is and a few more when the heart hits.
you've missed the flop, we dont know anything about UTG, he could be a lag or a nit by playing 1/8 for all we know and we have 7 outs. Just check it down and hope you get another free card, no point trying to take the pot imo especially multiway with a passive guy in who will probably call you down light, and you're out of position so if you bet now you have to bet the river or checking would look weak and you may get pushed out by a bluff. Save your money for the next hand.

In another hand everyone warned me against 3betting AQ ever unless it is a super loose opponent. Why 3bet against an UTG unknown? Unless 6max changes things?

3 bet oop against an unknown UTG is bad new IMHO. I would rather see a flop with AQ then 3bet pre and make a big pot OOP.

we're 3betting because most likely UTG has a high F3bet which means he'll fold a lot of the time and we'll get called by the retard in the CO with worse.

If the CO folded and it was just UTG in, I would opt to just call

Just because there is a drooler in the middle mate, and UTG will fold a lot when we 3bet and the drooler will still call, which is good for us. Calling isn't exactly terrible but i'd rather play with the fish HU.

edit: should probably of read the post above! bgomez said it all. i blame the drink.

So essentially we raise for a squeeze on UTG. And price the loose CO in for heads up. I like that.
