Hmm, let's call this a marginal 87o hand

[DavidC]

6-max

Two folds and a guy limps. This guy's like 70/30/bluffspew. He's very very bad.

I'm on the button with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and I call. I'd like to play hands with him if possible. This might not be a good hand to start with, but I figure it's probably worth it. If you have some comments as to the minimum type of hands that you'd like to have to play here, please feel free to share.

The small blind calls and the BB checks. SB is a tag and BB is a loose passive caller. So I guess that's another reason to play the hand (BB).

Flop (4sb): K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
SB bets, BB calls, CO calls, hero?

So, like, now that I'm here, what's my plan for the rest of the hand?

I think I want to see a showdown, so I think raising the flop and betting the turn, checking the river is the way to do it, even though the flop raise is -EV due to the ranges against me (it should make turn/river easier though, and let me know if I'm behind I hope).
