Hero new at the table. No infos. Stack 200

Straddle, everybody calls, hero calls in bb with 88, guy in straddle checks.

Flop (36) 653
Sb checks, hero leads 20, folds to guy in mp who goes all in for 70, folds to btn who calls (covers). Hero?

Annoying but your hand isn't good enough to play after the shove and call from 2 unknown opponents. It's annoying because you could some combination of pair+draw and low pair hands that has you in OK shape. But you will run into TT/99 type hands too often to consider playing this against 2 unknowns.

You should have just checked he flop and see what developed. Against this big a crowd when you don't squeeze preflop you are set mining because there are almost no other flops good for you.

Raise pre with 77+ here IMO, hand is good enough for pure value and is much eaiser to play post.


AP, I just fold OTF unless I have history with the players and know the BTN can have like 4x, 77, A6, etc.

I don't mind set mining pre

as played
I would check flop with so many people behind me. If we bet and get raised we have to fold. if we get called in a few spots the pot is huge and over cards are going to come/under cards bring in straights. I thought we limped pre to flop a set?
