Was going to ask about the call on the flop, but to be honest it was academic. Just wanted to share a successful info gathering incident.

Notes:
L1 SB called 4x raise from button, overbet pot
L1 BB reraised 3x raise from CO, all-in on flop
L2 UTG 3x w/KJo, bet missed pot, gave it up to reraise
--leads out on every out of position flop--
--crushes SB limps

Button and BB where solid players, but not too confrontational in the blinds (duly noted). I would limp more times than not from CO or earlier with mid-pair with plenty of time & chips, but I new SB would be calling...knowing, I would be pushed off of the pot with an over & his lead bet.....

Hero (t1770)
Button (t1795)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t250</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t225, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t550) 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t1315 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t1315.

Turn: (t3180) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t3180) 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t3180

SB had Q /images/graemlins/spade.gifJ /images/graemlins/spade.gif

...got the flop &amp; the action I wanted. Of course, he could have just as easily turned over 2 pair (or worse) I suppose, but having this information makes these "should I call or fold?" decisions a bit easier.

I know, earth-shattering stuff... /images/graemlins/wink.gif

in my experience most players aren't going to lead out 1315 into a pot of 500 if they have better than top pair.

I don't need a note to call that bet.
