4 all-ins preflop!
 

No hand history because I'm at work, bear with me.

Ok, so I decided I wanted to get a little tricky on this table and here's what I did. (6-max 100 NL, party, everyone has approximately $100)

UTG (pfr = 35%) raises to $3 (like always), UTG + 1 calls,
CO calls, button calls...

I have 7/8s and I decide forget these crappy raises; I reraise to $25. Is this play ok given all these limps?

Anyway, BB folds, UTG goes all-in for $100, UTG+1 calls, fold, button calls, and its on me: I need to call $75 for ~325 pot with 7/8s and I figure I'm getting pretty good odds here with these two live suited cards. So I call. What do you think?

I don't really see the reasoning, given that you're putting in 25% of your stack preflop and probably have to fold to a raise unless the pot is massively multi-way.

I think you squandered your chance to take a flop, decide whether or not you're going to smack an overpair with it, and fold if you missed.

When it's all said and done, though, I probably call the all-ins. Pot odds + tilt value.

you raised a field of people that called raises to 25 from the SB with 78 suited? Did I read that right. Horrible play IMO. If you are going to try this, at least have the button. I guess I don't mind calling 75 to win 325 since your hand figures to play well multiway, but I think its marginal and might even be -ev, but you'll certainly get good advertising if the table doesn't break after this hand.

My fault, I was on the button. oops. Thats why I made this play.

the play isn't as bad since you did it on the button....i don't hate it now, but it's certainly risky, hope it worked out for you.

I don't like the preflop raise. This is the kind of hand that you want a lot of players in. Call the $3 and see the flop. You're on the button, so you get to act last. I like this situation.
