I know we're all raising with the obvious hands PF like AA23 and hands of the sort i.e, AA2x AA3x AKK2, but recently i questioned a play i made and thought better of it and tried to employ it in this hand.

Tex - Not quite all of us. I sometimes raise with those hands and somtimes limp with them.

I started to think that in a lot of O8B games it becomes correct strategy to limp with the hopes of re-raising with big hands, and also for the fact that a lot of hands that are monster starters just play well multi-way.

I think they almost all play better multi-way.

So, i've switched to a limp/re-raise with big hands in EP.

That's often the way I'll play those hands (probably not for the same reason as you).

I'm button with A 2 4 6 nut spades.
5 players to a flop of
3x 5s Kx
It's bet by the SB, BB raises, all call and it comes back to me and I 3-bet.

Does anyone like a call here and why?

I like your three bet here.

But I can understand a call. If you think by three-betting everybody will check to you on the turn when the turn is favorable to you, so that you can only get one double bet out of everybody on the turn instead of two double bets, a call makes some sense.

And if the turn is unfavorable to you (eg. pairs the board), then you save a bet by just calling.

Seems a toss-up to me.
