What is your plan for the flop then?
It was a bit of a wait and see plan to be honest. Certainly if the flop was favourable (no aces) I was happy to get involved .
As it happened I pushed thinking UTG probably had AK, and I was also probably beating button who could have called pre flop with wide range of hands. Button folded, UTG took some time but eventually called with KK. The miracle Jack didn't come.
After the hand I thought it would have been better strategy to check to the button, who probably been relied on to bet. Im fairly sure UTG is new to casino and not familiar with buttons play. If UTG then goes all in then I have received more information and can fold because I'm probably beaten. If UTG calls a small bet or folds, Im likely to be winning and can make a powerful check raise all in.
If Button goes all in and UTG folds, theres a strong likdelihood that I'm winning and I would have called.
(by the way button said he had TT after the hand)
