 -I'm never sure how to play strong draws like this, I don't think this is the best line so I'd like to hear better lines
-UTG is Alexos from FTR, and I'm not really sure what his flatting range is in this spot. Probably some overpair and I don't think he gives my leads that much credit cause I've been leading into him quite a few times the last few sessions
-CO is another reg who runs about 18/15/3.39. I don't have that much exerience wiht him, or at least we haven't had that many memorable significant encounters yet. Alexos doesn't think he's that good, but I don't have many reads on him

 probably fold preflop, dont lead a 4 way pot with a nice draw that you cant stack off with. leading into the pfr is a good play in HU pots on these type of boards with most of your range, but in 4way pots you should usually only lead out planning to stack off or as a stab with a weakish made hand
My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

Yah I agree. I've lead out with strong straight+ low FD hands lately, only to meet a lot lot of aggression. I usually end up folding these hands with fear I'm up against a higher FD and so only my straight outs are good.

I guess its pretty close either way, cause if my flush outs are counterfeited its a good chance I still have outs to a pair or something.

I like your line. I was thinking about pushing for a big overraise when CO raises, but it is probably better the way you played it because of ranges and stuff.
The secret to success in poker is to rig the odds in your favor.

if you're leading a lot w/ draws and weaker hands at him, mix it up, go for a checkraise. w/ a hand this strong though, kinda hard not to want to play it straight up for value, i definitely dont fault it. w/ 2 players all in it gets juicy but since its too likely one of them is holding a bigger FD probly means trouble for u.

on 2nd thought, i hate playing a hand like this so passively just flatting the raise after u expect it. if u expected it, it's probably weak. i really think w/ a hand this strong u need to be pushing it unless u r mixing it up if u have the image to b/3b draws constantly.
