88 hand--play along

[nickg1532]

UTG is a 55/30 lag. his opening range is huge. he plays more passively postflop, but he still plays bad, donking randomly and calling down with nothing (though if he's giving lots of action he probably has a hand).

CO is another lag, about 40/30. his 3 bet range is also huge.

BB is 75/25. he's probably not folding if i cap.

what's my play here

Call and poker.

I'd call against these loosey's with the intention to c/r some favorable flops.

I think you have enough hand to cap preflop. I don't think bb will call 3bets cold here that often

cap for value, then poker

ok, close split between cap and call. i was hoping there would be more responses, but oh well. i called with the intention of c/r most flops.

some read info: as i mentioned in OP, the UTG donk can mean alot of things he can easily have a ten, a 5 or 6, a flush draw or straight draw, a monster (set), or occassionally air. if i had to guess i'd say it's a made hand more than it is air, but the latter is certainly possible.

and since CO is very aggressive, i'm almost positive i have him beat when he just calls. he has overcards a big portion of the time.

i don't like raising because i don't think bb can fold given his description so i probably just call here. we want to get hu with somebody asap but with this lineup and the pot size i think it's impossible right now, so call and reevaluate the turn.

thats what i do, i dont like making the Pot bigger with a valuable but very vulnerable hand wich is somewhat likely to be second best, it just makes later decisions pretty hard and no one is folding anything right now.
