88 - I felt like a LAG

[Avatar]

MP2 - Female. Loose/passive. Has been dumping money the last couple hands. $11 in front of her at the start of the hand.

MP3 - Male. A calling station..will see a turn with overcards, gutshots, no matter pot odds.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, SB completes, BB checks.

<font color="purple">Standard. </font>

Flop: (5 SB) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 3-bets (all-in)</font>, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

<font color="purple">I felt there was a good chance MP2 didn't have the Q. MP3 would call here with any two cards, and probably raise with a Q. </font>

Turn: (7 BB) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
MP3 bets, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 calls.

<font color="purple">Hugely suspicious bet. I'm not impressed. I raise to build the side pot, with intentions of folding to a 3-bet. </font>

River: (10.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
MP3 checks, Hero checks.

<font color="purple">Done betting. </font>

Final Pot: 10.50 BB

What happened on the turn, the convertor seems to have troubles with hands where someone is all in.

Btw raise preflop.

Interesting. Does it make it a raise based on the two descriptions I gave of our MP friends?

Do the tightness of the blinds come into this decision at all?

Merry Christmas to you guys who would raise 88 here against two limpers. Not everyone limps with complete junk.

Avatar, this is really a read-dependent thing. From the flop on, it's pretty obvious the person will be all-in, which usuaally is fine with me, but all they need is an A, Q, or J to beat you. Tough hand. I'd figure I'm beat on the 3-bet but would probably go to the river because I'm a glutton for punishment.

Well the 3-bet did sound like I was behind. But there was another player I felt I was ahead of on the flop. Didn't want to fold a side pot.
