Very loose game - coldcalled preflop for set value alone...

marginal call pre-flop with only one cold-caller before you. me no like.

river...call unless you know your opponents.

I think there are four players you can confidently count in for two bets, so you're getting 4 to 1. I think it's fine with implied odds.

Are you looking at the same hand I am?

One limper, a raiser, 2 callers and it's on me with a pocket pair? Folding is lunacy.

I am probably going to get flamed big time for this... but I wanted to at least give my rationale:

River: (21.30 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (7 players, 1 all-in)
SB checks, BB bets, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises $15.5 (All-In), MP1 folds, Hero 3-bets, SB folds, BB calls.

The BB was pretty loose (36/2) and when he was raised, I thought that the liklihood of runner runner flush over runner runner flush was pretty unlikely. The preflop raiser who raised on the end could have had a hand like AsKs or AsJs. Or, he was so irritated that the pot was so large and his preflop hand didn't improve, that he could make a raise and try to get me to lay down a midling holding and take it down versus the bb - if he had similar notes. This was wishful thinking and I was about 95% sure that I was behind him, but thought that the BB, if he was flushed, would have tried for a CR since the runner runner flush was not as obvious as a flopped 4 flush. So, with that in mind, I 3 bet, pretty confident that he would call 2 cold for the price of the pot and I could win a side pot of 2 bbs. Of course, if he 4 bets, I am screwed, but felt that it was a risk worth taking because I didn't think that he would 4 bet without the nut flush (and there was no chance of a reraise from the raiser due to all-in). I posted this wondering if anyone would suggest a 3 bet for the side pot or an extra bet if I was indeed good (very small chance, I know). The feedback so far has been call for the bet and 1/2 - so this seems to have been a poor decision.

Flame Away,
Thanks,
Kevin
