Under-full, too much action?

Everyone has missed a key point here.

Villain 2's play screams flush, he is LAG, and he has called off $880 so far.

If you are going to play, you MUST set villain 2 all in. You pretty much announce you can beat his flush, but it is going to be almost impossible for the LAG to fold for $500 more with $3100 now in the pot.

If you do this, you will win $500 from villain in the side pot most of the time. I think you are almost always losing $750 in the main pot, but you have a large chance to win $500 from the side pot plus a small chance to win the $1800. It is still close, just b/c villain 1 has you beat so often, but I'd go for it.

Note that if the side pot were not a possiblity, a fold would be in order.

Mine too. You're right, that was an awful river call without pushing for a sidepot with Villain 2's obvious flush [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
