Whoops I flopped top and bottom

[feelixthegreek]

Seems like a good situation. I envision MP on a FD or an OESD (including 69, a popular hand) given the size of the raise. It's the perfect size to call with good draws, so why would he let two people get good odds to beat him? You see players down there treat their good draws limit-style, mini-raising to build a pot instead of applying fold equity.

Also, the way you describe both UTG and MP, they seem the types to raise any A-paint PF, and for that matter mid PPs like 77 or 88. Again I'm going by your reads. So A8 is the only hand to fear.

Given the stacks, I think would raise to $200 ad if you get called shove on a safe turn card. Calling seems bad 3 ways because to many cards kill you or are action killers.

BTW, I also suspect they underestimate your holding, since flopping 2 pair EP is an almost automatic c/r hand.

Pretty much agree with feelix, except I'd make it at least 250 (pot raise is to ~300), you could also just shove for 2x pot if they were either retarded (would call with a flush draw) or like to make hero calls (why would you shove with a good hand, so they call with Ax).
