SB is quite aggro pre and postflop: he will bet into a preflop raiser and has repeatedly tried to steal pots on the river; he recently lost a huge chunk of his stack bluffing overs into a very tight player with AA. He has a pretty wide preflop opening range judging from his various preflop raises.

UTG just sat down a few hands ago. Nothing exciting from him, but no preflop raises or any real plays of note.

I started out a bit laggy but have since settled down, though only SB would have been around long enough to notice.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

MP ($34.90)
Button ($37.54)
SB ($17.21)
Hero ($31.55)
UTG ($8.61)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K, J. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

I thought about raising here but figured that KJs plays pretty well multiway

Flop: ($0.75) 7, T, J (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.5, UTG raises to $1, SB calls $1, Hero calls $0.50.

TPGK on a coordinated board; throw out a probe bet and try to limit the field. I think it may be the best hand until UTG says he likes his hand and so does SB - this is an easy call for me but I'm having a hard time putting opps on hands as it's an unraised pot...

Turn: ($3.75) K (3 players)
SB bets $1, Hero raises to $3, UTG calls $3, SB calls $2.

2pr, but that fills a potential draw. SB's bet is so weak and is asking to be raised - so I do, hoping to fold out UTG; SB's reaction to my raise should tell me how to proceed...

I'm treading lightly here-is the raise too weak?

I am utterly confused about UTG's call now.

River: ($12.75) J (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $13...

Well here comes the moneyshot, but opps (esp UTG) are so short... so I'm not sure how to best extract value here. SB may be a lost cause, but is it better to bet superweak here?

Thoughts appreciated, especially on the turn.

I guess I should have noted this, but this is essentially a push (SB has like $12.xx left and UTG has like $5). Not that it makes a difference?! Maybe a push looks more desperate.

Bah was too lazy to read stack sizes. Yeah, nice bet. Way too many hands pay you off for absurd amounts of money on this river.
