Flopping a Boat is a loose game...

Game is pretty loose, UTG is a maniac

I'm UTG+1 with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG Raises, I cold call, 3 other callers (I don't remember at this point who was there)
(10 SB)

Flop comes: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG Bets, I raise, everyone folds except MP+2, who calls, UTG re-raises, I call, MP+2 calls
(19 SB)

Turn comes 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG Raises, I reraise, MP+2 calls, UTG re-raises, I cap, MP+2 Calls
(21.5 BB)

Should I be afraid here? Not so much of the UTG raiser, but MP+2, who is cold calling 2 BB like its nothing?

River is a blank, I get it capped again, pot total is 33.5 BB.

How did i do?

Preflop is questionable, but since you say the table is loose and passive, I guess you assumed you'd get mutli-way action so it's not bad.

Postflop I don't think I slow down anywhere. Well played IMO. Your flop call (rather than cap) I guess was to be sure you were bet into. Me likes. If he's got a straight flush, he deserves to be paid off anyway. You're ahead way more than not.

His calling rather than raising tells me he's got a good hand he doesn't want to give up but is scared. Maybe TT or A8 or something. UTG is a maniac so who knows. I doubt you're behind unless UTG got really lucky.
