88, getting too fancy?

[reb]

Quite loose and somewhat aggressive table overall, raises to be respected though. Villain is new to the table and unknown.

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, MP folds, CO calls.

I raised here, to try to get rid of BB to up my winning chances. Yes, no?

Flop: (12 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, Button calls.

Checkraised in an attempt to eliminate CO and button was probably on autobet anyways, was this wise to do button limp-raised preflop? My thinking was that he/she could very well just be building the pot with some suited connector or, well, any hand that plays well multiway.

Turn: (8 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls.

This got me thinking he/she has an overpair or hit the queen on the flop and went passive on the scary flop.

River: (10 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, Button checks.

And hence my check.

Final Pot: 10 BB

Thoughts?

I'd bet the river.

Bet the river for value.

[The Setup]

I'm undecided about the raise pre-flop, with just two limpers I'd raise it not sure I would raise it with three though. I'd probably raise 99 in the SB with the three limpers and definately TT.

Flop - I like the c/r here as I would assume button to have overcards at this point though betting into the raiser is also a valid option IMO.

Turn - Of course I play the same.

River - I bet the river instead of check-calling hoping to get an extra bet from the button with A-high.

horrible river check. Bet and get called by ace high.

river bet is 50/50. Check might induce bluff. I think A high folds here most times. You might pick up low PP's.
