Default Multiway With 88 Underpair

Table is very loose and has two or three LAGs. Of course I'm down a couple bills.

Bodog 5/10 (10 Handed)

PF: UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, I call with 88, LAG raises from MP2, Button coldcalls, SB folds, BB calls, everyone calls.

Flop: 12 SB 4QQr (6 Players)
Checked to Hero...

The LAG is not maniacal and will slowdown when its painfully aware that he beaten.

I would lead into the lag and have him clear the field for me.

I agree. If it comes back for 2 more, I think you can be done with the hand.

It sounds like you can't count on the LAG to raise a flop bet with a worse hand and drive the others away, which makes this a tough spot.

I think I would bet anyway, though.

Bet the flop hope someone raises and it is heads-up and then get to showdown.

BoDog bonus clearing. Table are limited and sometimes I can't resist. I'm tempted to hit the 20/40 there since it played like Party .5/1.

I bet, LAG pauses then calls, one loose donk calls, the rest fold.

3 to the turn for about 7.5 BB. The turn is a T. You're first to act.

Well, annoyingly, AK and AJ now have 13 outs against us, and KJ has 17. And we could already be crushed by trips or even queens up (if, for instance, someone has AT/KT).

But I would bet again, planning to fold to a raise, I guess, though I'm worried the LAG will semi-bluff raise if he picked up a draw.

I also felt I needed to bet again so I bet. LAG calls, donk calls, River is a J. I checked, LAG checks, donk checks. LAG shows JT for two pair.
