    2/4 6MAX
    Utg limps, I limp 99, 1 more limp,sb completes bb makes it 14, all 4 call.

    Flop 1092(pot70): BB check, utg bets 45, I flat call, bb calls.

    Turn J(pot205): BB pushes for 82, utg calls…I just call

    I have 200 left after the call, utg covers. The jack is not nice, but his flat call means I know I have him beat based on reads. So should I be raising him here?, I think the only raise is allin as a min type raise stinks of strength. By flat calling I reckon he may try to bluff me on river as he loves 2 bluff. I reckon he folds to the push.

    Was my flop play ok?

    I would def have raised the flop as there are still 5 players in the hand on a drawing board. You are asking for trouble to all others to draw to anything at good odds. After you call the next person is getting over 3.5/1 to call, never mind if there are other callers. If there was only you and the better here then calling would be fine but I tihnk you need to narrow the field a little.

    Was it a rainbow flop?

    Also, I would have raised preflop with 99 in this game.

    yeah sometimes i raise but decided to limp this time. Im not sure if 5 or 4 in pot,details hazy. I didnt raise the flop as rainbow and K/8 are only cards afraid of, if gutshot stays in for that price then so be it, I wanted bluffer to bet the turn again, or hopefully someone behind to reraise, meh! Excuses!

    Raise preflop for sure.
    Cold call on the flop is alright I guess, but push the turn 100%

    on the turn:
    Would he really bluff when there is a player all in who can probably beat his bluff for the main pot? If you think he will bluff then let him, but otherwise I'd try my very best to build a side pot and maybe a small(min) raise is the only way to do that.

    As I can't see why he'd bluff the river with the player all in I think raising the turn is the best thing to do.

    Why would he bluff the river when he'd have to showdown against someone all in anyway? You effectively give him a free card with three to a straight on the board, definately push this turn.
