So, what does hero do here?

Yeah I just complete PF.

this is just my opinion, but i dont pop it up that much pf given your stack size because:

A) you're facing pretty deep stacks with a marginal hand as far as im concerned.

B) given a flop you could possibly cbet, you're basically committing the rest of your stack if UTG re-shoves or calls.

Since he called you're bet pf and cbet on the flop, you basically have to shove that turn. Odds are he would have shoved you pf if he had KK, so that makes the boat unlikely. You left yourself about 2.8k or something?

you could also try to play the more passive approach and c/f this if you dont hit, or she bets you out of the pot on the turn. it leaves you in push/fold mode, but at least thats easier to play imo.

it comes down to how you want to play that turn. but for future reference, try to control the pot a little more when you arent in any blind/ante trouble.

Sound advice. I probably should just have limped in. I did shove the turn and she called with . River didn't help either of us. I was right in my intial read so raising wasn't that bad a play since I knew approximately what she was holding, but I should have realized that she wouldn't fold preflop no matter what she hold nor fold postflop if she hit the board at all or just had 2's and even possibly call with a gutshot.
