    Default Chip leader's bet

    This hand came up pretty early in the 10K player MTT tourney. The table is, as usual, loose. For example, people won't fold any ace pre-flop to a raise.

    Big Blind is t50 (10 handed)

    MP1 (t2545)
    MP2 (t2585)
    MP3 (t1390)
    CO (t1380)
    Button (t1395)
    SB (t870)
    BB (t1440)
    UTG (t8040)
    Hero (t1275)
    UTG+2 (t3600)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with , .
    UTG calls t50, Hero calls t50, UTG+2 calls t50, MP1 calls t50, MP2 calls t50, 3 folds, SB completes, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t350) , , (6 players)
    SB checks, UTG bets t200, Hero calls t200, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, SB folds.

    * I was thinking about betting 200 exactly myself (if checked to me). UTG is quite loose pre-flop but not a complete idiot post-flop. A few hands before his AA was cracked on the river. The very next hand he pushed with middle pair to get 3 callers (lol). He bad beat all the other guys with the third King on the river. He then sitted out for 2 rounds or so. Seems to be a conservative, aiming-for-cash player.

    Turn: (t750) (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero checks.

    River: (t750) (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets t250, UTG folds.

    Final Pot: t750

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Qh Kd (two pair, aces and queens).
    Outcome: Hero wins t750.

    What do you think I should have done instead?

    Bet the turn. Even if you are behind, you probably still have outs.
