Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls

But I will get redrawn so I don't have implied odds and I supposedly need to be getting about 14-1 odds to call. UTG is betting into 3 people, I doubt its a semi bluff. [/ QUOTE ] People play flush draws like this all the time. |

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
Like Oink said in another post of mine, I think I have some big flaws in my game. Most of the time I want to keep going in a hand I'm told to fold and when I seem to be looking for folds everyone else is looking for calls or raises!

[/ QUOTE ] It's normal to have flaws when you play 0.25/0.5, but folding more is not a solution. You have to analyse the hands where you are not sure. In this hand you have 2 outs for a set and 1-1.5 outs with the backdoors imo with slightly positive implied odds. Moreover you have the best hand quite often, so you can't fold. Raising is not bad imo against a lp, the lp donk often a made hand. So if he 3 bet you are quite sure you are behind (fd is possible but unlikely imo), so you can make a good fold on the turn in this case. Moreover it is a good thing if the pot becomes HU. |

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
you didn't provide any reads but people play all sorts of crap like this. straight draws, flush draws, middle/bottom pair, even stuff like ace high
the pot is pretty big you can't bail on it with a hand this strong without a good reason |

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
I doubt I fold the flop for one bet. Matter of fact I think raising is slightly better as we can get hands like K9-J, A9, AT to fold when they would be close to correct to call our raise if they had back door flush draws to go along. I understand that straight draws and flush draws are calling, but we don't always face these behind us. A raise can increase our pot equity a great deal.
edit: I see that you metioned loose passives. Sometimes they do weird stuff often enough. If you have a read that says he hasn't bet a draw and only bets top pair, then it's a fold in my books. Otherwise I take the action I layed out above. |

Re: 88 vs 2 limpers 3 calls
in these spots I mostly call the flop, not sure if its the best line
