88s in the BB, flop some draws

Sorry, don't know of a hand converter to convert home game hands. Point me to one and I'll change it.

Stoned home game, 25c/50c blinds, avg. stack $60-$100, big stack of $150-$200. Villain is solid player, full of tricks.

Hero in BB.
VIllain limps UTG, WeakTight calls, AnyTwo calls, Maniac calls, ByTheBook folds, WeakLoose calls on the button, Frenchy cmpletes the SB, I check red 88 in the BB.

Flop 654, two diamonds. Frenchy checks, I bet $3, Villain calls, WeakTight calls, AnyTwo raises to $8, folded to me, I call, Villain raises to $58 (over $100 behind) WeakTight calls all-in $20 or so. Folded to me, I have about $65 left.

Villain is a good tricky player able to get reads and make moves.

Thanks for any comment you can give. Sorry it's not converted.

Trivial fold. Sometimes they both have draws, though, and even then you shouldn't call.

Yeah, well, oops on me. This was one of several mistakes I made last night, tho' thankfully I'm good enough with this crowd to be able to recover. I thought big raiser may have been on an overcard flush draw, looking to pick up a pot, as I'd been folding to pressure a bit before. Turns out he had 73o for the second nuts.

But yeah, looking back, folding in this situation would be consistent with my game.

Thanks!

Well, now you can understand why I could at least put him on overcards with a draw at least a decent portion of the time. But part of his strength is in reading people, and his stack was obscenely larger than anybody else's at about 400 BBs. I felt his play was possibly an overbet in an attempt to isolate a short stack, as my actions 'til then would indicate I'd fold. The right answer could still be "fold" for me, but the result certainly surprised me a tiny bit. Lesson learned.
