I can see a good argument for raising for value with bad players in the pot.

Just that your OOP against a TAG non-steal raise. Your going to have showdown the best hand to win it. I find it easier to play postflop (protect hand, get away from hand) if I just call.

I was just curious what else you're calling since I'm calling nothing except 22-77 here and I think it's a leek in my game.

Wow, the button bet the turn...I dont know what he could put you on besides what u had, maybe a set...yet he bet.

I think this turn is a pretty easy bet, UTG will call two as u say, so he will call one, button is an idiot and if he raises u 3-bet and go from there.

This turn is going to get checked more often than u think.

I'm not sure this is optimal, but against this type of player, I'll call with KQs most of the time, and with AJs and ATs. KJs sometimes against a weaker, looser player (though this may be a leak).

As for pairs, I'll also add 88 and 99 to the call list in spots like this. You likely have the best hand, but protecting it will be a bitch in a 4 handed 3-bet pot, and your edge isn't huge. You can just call in these spots and your relative position will allow for a check-raise on safe flops. If there's only 1 limper, I'll usually 3-bet though.
