Pushing a small edge or burning chips?

[haakee]

So, due to some transportation difficulties I'm not able to play at my usual cardroom, but I got out to slum it at a closer cardroom where the largest game is 15-30. So I got into a game that was a crazy ram-and-jam fest. In this particular hand, UTG is somebody who I saw 3-bet preflop with QJo, on another hand I watched him fire an every-street bluff on a Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] flop with 53o (no diamond). 6 people had seen the flop, two people called on the turn, and QJ called him on the river to take it down when an offsuit 3 came. He also made some crazy turn raises where he was unable to call a river bet. He's wild. MP is very loose, not sure about his aggression factor.

Anyway, UTG raises. 3 cold-callers including MP, and I call in the BB with 77.

Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Checked to MP who bets. One caller, I call, UTG calls.

Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] putting 2 clubs on the board. I check. UTG bets, MP raises. LP folds. I 3-bet. UTG 4-bets. MP calls and I cap it at 5 bets thinking I probably have the best hand.

River: T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I bet out again. UTG raises. MP sighs and cold-calls. I think for a bit and decide to 3-bet. UTG giggles and 4-bets. MP cold-calls. I grumble and call.
