Re: Weak - Tight?
Thanks for all the comments. I did play this badly, but not horribly. As it turns out (I apologize to those who hate results) MP2 was a 48%/20% donk on the war path with 77 and MP1 had AT or somesuch hand (maybe even worse).
I learned that I should probably wait a bit before getting involved with this kind of preflop action without any time at the table. One poster mentioned this and it's good advice.
I also considered a CR on the flop, but mistakenly believed that a bet on the flop might help me define their hands better. I acted too quickly (typical when 3-tabling on a 17 inch where the tables overlap) and didn't checkraise because I was afraid it was going to be 2 bets back to me if I checked (I don't know why I thought this since MP2 was the last one to raise preflop) and then I would have to consider folding on the flop with what could be the best hand. Checkraising in this situation would have been much better because then I could really get a sense of my opponents' holdings. Then I could bet/fold the turn. I wouldn't be surprised if MP2 would have raised me on the turn despite a flop checkraise. He was that loony as it turns out.
I also considered capping preflop, but I wussed out since I didn't have any reads. This also could have changed the way the hand played out.
Again, thx for the comments, much appreciated. The dicussion about the implied odds of hitting a set was also helpful.
