10/20 LO8 live

CO is unknown, seems loose PF at least. UTG is semi-loose pre, tight passive postflop.

I am in MP with AT35

UTG limps, Hero limps, CO limps, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: 337

UTG checks, Hero bets, CO calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls

Turn: J

UTG checks, Hero bets, CO raises, UTG insta-calls. Hero?

BTW I know 100% from playing with UTG that when he calls instantly on a paired board with 2 low cards, he always has a nut low draw.

Let's say hero calls.

River: 4

UTG checks, Hero checks, CO bets, UTG calls, Hero?

I confess I'm often not quite sure of the strength of my hand post flop in o8. In this case I would call down. It depends on the unknown, I'm going to assume he is capable of raising a non-nut flush on the turn, even on a paired board. There is a chance we are good for the high so I call down. I could be convinced that we are beat and its a fold, though. From what you say it sounds like we are battling only for the high hand. Of course they could both be going low - here is hoping!

Nice starting hand.

Looks right.

I tentatively put them both on low draws, perhaps nut low draws. One of the may have a trey. (I rather doubt eight has flopped a full house, but you never know for sure).

Seems right.

There's a possibility both of them have the nut low but Hero can't re-raise because of the possibility one of them has turned a full house. Either or both of them could have the nut low draw with the heart flush, or the nut low draw with a trey.

I'd call.

Makes sense.

That's what I'd do.

You can't fold this and you want to keep it as cheap as possible. Check/call seems right to me. I'd more or less expect a bet from CO. It's possible CO has the nut low plus a non-nut heart flush and will check behind. But if that is the case, you only miss half a big bet by not betting.

On the other hand, if you bet, get raised, call, and get scooped, you lose two big bets.

Or if you check, CO bets, and you get scooped, you lose one big bet.

(Betting, planning to scoop, is unrealistic).

Check/call seems the best choice.

Call.

I like.

preflop I favor raising. There's nothing wrong with limping. Style thing, I guess. the closer you get to the BTN, the more you should be willing to raise, IMO.

river I check/call or bet/call.
if I bet/call and get scooped, I don't feel too bad about it.
nut flush with trips (blocker) on a paired board+2nd nut low no good? tough luck, I guess...

just happens to me too often that people play weird in position (usually too aggressive) and then check behind and I scoop or get 3/4.
letting it get checked through would tilt me more than losing an extra bet when scooped, so I guess I bet/call...
