Flop ($1.02) J♣:9♣:7♣:

- This flop felt worse than seeing an
his the board. I guess the only way to explain my overbet was to potentially take down the pot right there. I realize now that UTG villain is pot committed and did open, so he's probably not going anywhere.
- With SPR at 2.8, I know I should be willing to felt it and there are only a few combos that UTG could have that beats me here; but with the possible flush on the board should I have switched to checking for pot control?
UTG shoves $2.60, CO calls, Hero?
