Marginal draw against probable AAxx

[algorhythm]

Villain 1 is new to the table. Villain 2 has been around for a while, very loose preflop, loose passive postflop. Has been seen to call down with low flush draws and the like.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Standard call preflop here. It's a good guess villain 1 has AAxx. Villain 2 could have anything he thinks is decent.

Flop: ($15.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">villain 1 bets $5</font>, villain 2 calls $5, Hero calls $5, Button folds.

I'm priced in for the double bellybuster but I know nothing about villain 2's holding.

<font color="#CC3333">villain 1 bets $5</font>, villain 2 calls $5, Hero calls $5.

Bad card for my hand but it's very cheap to stay in. Villain 2 has been seen to slowplay too so he may have a made hand at this stage.

River: ($45.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">villain 1 bets $10.9 (All-In)</font>, villain 2 folds, Hero calls $10.90.

Final Pot: $67.30

Flush hasn't gotten there. My hand is very marginal. But KQ and Q8 are the only two hands I don't split with.

Given the likelihood Villain 1 has AAxx, is this a standard call on the end? Is there a better line on any of the streets? I'm usually more aggressive but I'm not keen on pressing a double belly buster with a non-nut end against very loose players.

All opinions welcome.

Given the two-flush (and the prospects for what happened happening) I probably fold the flop without a better read on V1. The river is an easy call if I've stuck around that far -- that's the decision I made when I called the flop/turn.

How did you get the hand converter to work for Party Poker PLO??

Oh yeah, and I thought you played this well, you were given the right price to draw regardless.
