instamuck. Does your hand even play well against 24xxx OOP? But if you're playing bruto I can see why you'd want to gamble =)

call. This hand begs to play multi-way when your out of position.

I might be OK with playing this if button is aggro enough to be raising 46 or something, and you were playing 15/30. In any other game I think it just has to be a fold.

Fold unless it's 2/3 blinds.

the reasons aggro buttons make money is ppl start raising 357xx against them OOP. When you're about neutral EV against the worst in his range, why 3 bet OOP?

great post. Always control the size of the pot!

I don't fault those who say fold, but I think calling is slightly better because you need to find spots to play vs an agro button, he will generally pay off like an ATM when he loses. The best bet is to let him keep his button lead and encourage the BB to play on. A common mistake in 2-7 is trying to play every hand heads up, some hands play better multiway and out of position because your less likely to spew chips and when you hit you win big.

I generally agree with what you're saying, but I'm not so sure this hand plays well 3 handed. It's a hand I'll definitely complete in the BB in a 4 way pot, but generally you're playing 87 97 here alot in a 3 way pot, so I'm not so sure how well it plays hu or multiway.

I'm only saying this because I'm fairly confident I've spewed quite alot of money playing hands like this against aggro buttons.
