    Default Good play or stupid and lucky?

    1/2 limit on PS
    No reads on anyone


    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A, T.
    UTG calls, 3 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, SB 3-bets, BB caps, UTG calls, Hero calls, SB calls.

    Calling the cap may be questionable but getting 8 : 1

    Flop: (16 SB) 9, 7, A (4 players)
    SB checks, BB bets, UTG calls, Hero calls, SB calls.

    Top pair, moderate kicker, back door straight draw.
    Thought I was up against AK, or big PP

    Turn: (10 BB) 2 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, SB raises, BB folds, UTG folds, Hero calls.

    This interests me, SB checked flop then checked raised the turn. I'm thinking he's protecting a Big PP or has pocket AA. Big pot so I called for the money.

    River: (14 BB) 8 (2 players)
    SB bets, Hero calls.

    Final Pot: 16 BB

    Limit? Check this down. Your kicker may lose you money. While everyone is checking, he check raised you -- he's got something. A-little hearts? A9?, A7?, AT or Up? You're screwed many ways, or he has some other peice of crap, or can't let go of KK, QQ, etc.
    I'm a know-it-all.




    No, really.

    I think a 3-bet on the turn wouldn't be out of line.
    take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately
