87s OTB big draw

[bottomset]

UTG and MP are both erratic LAGs 70/20ish and do some really weird plays
BB is pretty new to the table

anyone just coldcall the flop raise here?
and is there any value in betting this ugly river card?

this is well played IMO. The closest street is the flop. Your 7/8 outs are usually good as well as the flush outs, so let's say you have like 40-45% equity (discounting for times when better flush is out or 2 pair is no good, gets counterfeited, etc.). The flop raisor and cold caller are gonna call the 3bet as well as probably the flop bettor and maybe more. So it's solid from value standpoint. It'll also get you a free card sometimes and possibly clean up your 7/8 outs.

I also think this was played optimally, nh
