call the pot odds are massive. Be prepared to drop it unless you hit big.

I guess you are thinking of isolate pushing all-in, and taking your equity against CO's range with all the overlay? This is an interesting play, and I am thinking about what the EV of it might be.

You might get it heads up with the CO if you do this. Raising over the limper, and then 4-bet pushing into this protected pot will look pretty strong to the other players. And, how many hands likely to call your push would button/MP have just called the push with? I reckon they wouldn't have wanted this one multiway in that case.

I'm definitley not concerned about MP here.

Button worries me more. He just saw a limp, raise and a 3-bet AI. Yet he flat called. When I think about it, he could be very strong here.

I think I like just calling this. It's a protected pot, so you won't have to be too worried about being bluffed out later. And also, you'll get to see what at least two of them has, which is nice.

i just call, as Fiksdal said, the button scares me.

[AragornX151]

How strong can the button really be to not raise once with this many people in? It feels like a medium pair, maaybe AQ, but stronger than that? Possible but I think a shove is +ev here. A call puts you in a tough spot if the flop comes J high with this many folks in and someone all in. I like the all-in here.

I think anything but raising the limper is bad. You have to at least call the push, and I think a iso push may be profitable. The limper has had 2 chances to raise, he's showing major weakness and I'm not too worried about him.

[WarDekar]

With all the chips in the pot I'm leaning towards isolating with a push.

The button call does kind of scare me, but he has to be scared when you raise a limper and 4-bet push after an all-in and 2 calls, you're screaming strength here.


I certainly think iso-pushing is +EV for the hand. The problem is if you're going to be playing at this table for a while you just lost a lot of table image.

[AragornX151]

I'm still not clear why the button call is scaring people. Isn't it much more likely that he's just too loose and making a weak call than he has a monster? Would he really smoothcall multiple opponents here with JJ+?

[willperkins]

I call. If one of the first three limpers had AK or AQ, AA-77 they probably would have raised.
I would be real careful post flop though because this will probably be a family pot.
