Good fold.

Entity, why the raise preflop from the SB? Do we really have the best hand? Disguise? Can you elaborate?

We have a good hand and a fair amount of equity, and due to the relatively small % of hands people raise from the SB, we tend to get a lot more credit for a big hand (and consequently pick up more pots with a flop bet than we would otherwise). But basically when we've got a loose limper and someone else who doesn't like his hand (or doesn't understand poker well enough) to isolate that limper, I think we've got plenty of equity and don't mind playing a big pot at all.
