88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

These spots confuse me, especially vs lp's. Is this a standard fold?

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

yeah I would probably fold, if you're behind here your drawing to two outs, and if you catch one of your outs and someone is betting/calling with a straight draw here you might lose money if you hit it. In this spot I usually assume UTG has a Q and the MP is on either a straight or flush draw and even if I'm ahead at this point They both probably have redraws out the ass.

Raise it up.

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

With two backdoor draws and the possibility that you are ahead of UTG and MP, getting 10.5-1 I wouldn't fold. I would consider calling or raising, not sure which.

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

Backdoor flush? I'm thinking if I actually hit the 8 high would not hold up. I have one player to act behind who will most likely call whether or not I call. Seems like I have 3 outs at best.

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

yah but you also have the best hand sometimes and there are 10.4SB in the pot

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

But I will get redrawn so I don't have implied odds and I supposedly need to be getting about 14-1 odds to call. UTG is betting into 3 people, I doubt its a semi bluff.

People play flush draws like this all the time.

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

Like Oink said in another post of mine, I think I have some big flaws in my game. Most of the time I want to keep going in a hand I'm told to fold and when I seem to be looking for folds everyone else is looking for calls or raises!

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
 

you didn't provide any reads but people play all sorts of crap like this. straight draws, flush draws, middle/bottom pair, even stuff like ace high

the pot is pretty big you can't bail on it with a hand this strong without a good reason
