Terrible play, right? When both blinds called, I wasn't happy at all, as at least one of them was certainly on a draw. Then SB leads into two (!) players with a pot-sized bet - probably to protect his made hand. What hand? Dunno... How often you expect to see a straight here and what would be your line?

agree...
very dangerous flop, wanna bet at least pot.

Hm... turn is wierd. Would SB call your 5/6 pot bet on flop with a 9 ? I'm thinking QJ may be more likely, read dependant I guess. But without a read a fold looks best here... : (

Do you want to be calling a raise to 160 or 200 in EP ?
(hint: no)

Why? No way I'm folding 88 PF at L2, even from UTG...

[holy32]

So you would call a raise to 160 or 200 ? Or do you just fold if anyone raises more than 3xbb pf ? Playing for set value can't be +EV as the raise your calling is about 1/10th of your stack. And playing the hand for anything else should prove difficult, especially in EP. If you're calling any substantial raise with midpair in EP you've found yourself a leak...

Fold PF.

That said, 150-200 on the flop.

As an aside, what hand can SB be said to have played well here?

[pauliewalnuts]

Why would anyone fold this pf? Sure, if someone raise to t160 then you can fold. But not limping initially sucks IMO.

limping pf is fine, to put in end to this ridiculous argument.
