Re: Fun w/87s
I'm counting 1.5 bdflush outs, 1 bdstraight out, 2 7 outs, 2 8 outs = 6.5 outs into a 7.5:1 situation, so you have to at least call the flop...
I like the raise because you can likely fold the button, get position, get a free card (if utg+1 slows down like your read says) and be happy...getting 3-bet sucks though.
Turn you have 10.75:1 getting 4 outs...which is fine if your c/r succeeds (implied odds), so I like your play overall.
Sorry for all the math, I see this situation as marginal (although I'm sure it is a lot less marginal that I make it seem)
