87s....
 

This table was awesome. Only good TAG was MP who folded preflop. Reads:

BB is kinda loose-aggressive: 40/15/1.5 over 130 hands (mined) with a fold BB of 50%.

Button is loose-aggressive preflop, semi-aggressive postflop: 40/30/1.5 over 330 hands (mined) but plays *ok* postflop (can make folds when he thinks he is beaten, i.e. when he raises preflop and misses w/ overs, he continuation bets the flop 50% of the time, but usually check/folds the turn UI)

UTG is a 78/5.5/.44 LP over 180 hands (mined).

I think I go ahead and bet/fold that river. Most LPs won't bet a pair of 3s but will call with it.

anyone fold this pre flop due to blind structure and relative position to the raiser?

Relative position is really good. You want to be able to face the field with 2 with a hand that when paired is still pretty magrinal.

Easy river bet. Ace high will call you here and it's easy to fold to a river raise from UTG. With his stats you are nearly better off check-folding than check-calling (well, maybe if the pot is smaller), but bet-folding is by far the best option.

alright, so your point is that if you flop a big draw, you dont really care about your position because you will have a ton of equity and you can ram and jam. if you flop a marginal hand, you are in the best position to protect your weak holding? that sound about right?

Pretty much. You can play a hand like this just for flush/straight value alone with this many limpers. Being able to take down pots with pairs because of good relative position is a bonus.
