This happened to me 3x yesterday within 3 orbits. It is a common situation that I have surprizingly not really run into much and was not 100% sure what to do. All 3 hands I was OOP and covered by villians.

I have been agressive either open raising/re-raising or folding most hands PF. The table has been mostly folding to my PF raises or 1 or 2 villains at most cold calling every now and then.

My stats are somewhere in the 24/18/4 range (100 hands) for this session.

The 2 villians for the most part seemed to play ABC poker as I saw nothing out of the ordinary that could assist me.

I'm calling all three with those in hopes of stacking them. The last hand is a little marginal, but your odds are pretty good of winning 100bb risking 12. Since you have close to 110bb in the first two hands it gives you little better odds. If you were $47 and less i'd say muck everything but the 88's. Even those might be worth mucking.

I should add, if the stats were closer to 13-10, i'd say let them go, but these players seem to be fairly loose. And a lot of players at the lower limits can't let AA-KK go unimproved.

If you are talking strictly about value, I usually fold all of these with 100bb stacks. I may sometimes call to outplay my opponent but setmining OOP in 3bet pots is not a very good idea.

I'd fold them all while sometimes calling the first one in hopes of flopping a set, overpair, or if the opponent c-bets non-stop then I may C/R.

Well not calling any of them is bad too. It doesn't do so hot for table image. I think 4-betting is spew, and if you fold all three you are in a bad spot. You have to play a pot here, especially since he's not playing 13-10, and his opponents are slightly loose. Calling all three might be bad, but folding all three is bad too.

folding all three is fine, but i'm calling 88.

I ended up folding all 3 hands, but it just didn't feel right. That is why I asked for advise. Thanks all.
