NY club 4-8 game, better players than in your typical casino game. It's playing not loose, not tight preflop, fairly passive with lots of action after. I limp 55 utg due to the game texture (and perhaps the fact I'm up big). One limper, a raise from a very loose raiser, a three bet from a tight aggressive but not very imaginative player. There's $36 in the pot when it comes back to me, with a probably $12 more to go in from the limpers, who I believe will both call. I call, getting 6-1 (assuming the limpers call).
Now I wish I hadn't limped, but I think a call is indicated given that I'm in. Flop comes:
7-4-3 rainbow, giving me a gutshot. It's checked to the three bettor, who bets out. I raise to clear the field (this is the good play, I think). At this point the pot is laying me about 7-1 on my raise and I have 6 outs, all of which I believe to be clean. I'm almost certain the three bettor has A-K or a big pair. If it's AK, I could actually be winning. So I want to get the other two players out.
They did fold, the three-bettor was true to his name and three-bet again. I figured he probably had the big pair at this point, but called.
Turn came a 6, completing my gutshot and I got in a c/r on the turn and he called my bet on the river, too.
How'd I play it?
