Mega multi way pot With Top Two... You Know Where This Is Going

This is really difficult to analyze without any reads or numbers on villian except he is "certainly tight". He is the third player to limp so this could be any number of hands that include small/med PP and connectors.

You flop bet was fine IMO, a good size(75% not 90% btw) and a check would only be for C/R reasons which with so many people I dont see a bluff here, maybe an extra bet from a AJ or KJ.

After that this is just a shitty situation on the turn, his 3/4 pot bet is a time you have to start thinking of any reads you might have. Since you have 2 pair its unlikely he has 99 or JJ here. I dont think you can dismiss a draw here, with players left to act maybe he thought there could be another caller giving him good enough odds, who knows. Depending on his numbers this could be a fold but that would be a tough fold. Another option would be to throw out another bet here and fold to a raise considering you label him as tight? I just dont know.

I would not make a 30 big blind blocking bet just to fill your ego and see that he had a set, while a blocking bet has its purpose that shouldnt be one of them. I am probably checking this and folding to anything too high. Unless he is a maniac, which it doesnt sound like he is, I cant see your hand being best with him having the chance to check it down with 4 to a straight on board. What is he going to call your bet with that you beat? I also cant imagine getting a set or better to fold here even with 4 to a straight. I could be wrong here though blocking bets are something I probably dont get enough value out of.

Overall a shitty situation good fold on the end.

Why does his turn bet smell like a set? He could very well have completed his straight, or just be betting at your weakness as he has position.

100 big blinds deep, i can very easily see an oesd call your flop bet, especially with a runner runner flush draw giving villain an extra out. Implied odds are very good here.

I really don't see the point of your river bet.

A big turn bet might stop someone from drawing, but theres no way a 3/4 pot bet is stopping a 2 way nut draw from calling on the flop. I'm baffled by you wanting to see which hand it is that has you beat. Don't know what to tell you there.

Anyone else like a flop check/raise? With 8 players in we could trap in a lot of dead money. But we do risk letting players see a free card, and we could be bloating the pot with the 2nd best hand. This flop hits limper's range very hard though, so I would be pretty suprised if we didn't get a bet from someone.

check/fold the river and save yourself $16 bucks. Even dump 2 pair on the turn if this bloke is especially tight. You don't really beat anything with the hand.. any straight draw he might have been smooth calling the flop with he would have hit. If he did flop a set you're still beat. You're really just hoping he's got top pair top kicker.

his turn bet could have been a bluff at your weakness.. the river reraise means you're beat, unless he's a very gutsy bluffer.

i might overbet flop. as played c/f river
