Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you.

Live 40-80.

Tight thinking player limps in MP. Older whinier tight guy limps right behind him, looser friendlier guy limps the hijack, and I raise the cutoff with As Ts. A blind calls and the limpers call.

Flop Td 8h 7d. Checked to the older whinier limper, who bets. Next guy folds, I raise, blind folds and the young tight guy immediately makes it 3 bets. Bettor calls immediately and I call, planning to pound the turn but reserving the right to give the very tight guy credit for a big hand and fold or get to showdown as cheaply as possible.

Turn Ah and the tight guy bets in tempo. Older tight guy calls and I raise.

Was there a better way to handle this situation?
