    Default [10 NL] River decision: nut straight on paired board

    No reads (1st orbit).

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (Button) ($10)
    SB ($18.45)
    BB ($4.85)
    UTG ($7.50)
    UTG+1 ($10)
    MP1 ($9.55)
    MP2 ($2)
    CO ($3.60)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, K
    UTG calls $0.10, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.10, 2 folds, Hero bets $0.60, 2 folds, UTG calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50

    Flop: ($1.95) 5, J, 10 (3 players)
    UTG checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks

    Turn: ($1.95) 10 (3 players)
    UTG bets $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50

    River: ($3.45) 9 (3 players)
    UTG bets $0.40, MP1 raises to $1.40, Hero ???

    I've been running bad lately, so I am second-guessing myself. Was the turn call ok? What is the proper play on the river?

    The UTG bet probably doesn't mean much since its so wimpy. I would just call here. You are still beating a lot of hands he could raise the river here... trips, worse straights, Jx.. this is 10NL after all.

    I think reraising the river here (should) only get called by hands that beat you.. and with no reads, I'd play it safe.

    If UTG shoves.. I'd throw up on my monitor
