2 limpers in early position, villian limps in cutoff, I limp with 88 on button

Stack size: I have $200, villian has me covered
I forget the other 2 players but it was mostly inconsequential

Flop: 6 9 Q rainbow
Everyone checks
Turn: T
First 2 limpers check, villian bets 5, I call and one limper calls
River: 8 (no flush possibilities)
First limper checks, villian bets 45

Villian is a typical LAG. Plays a good amount of hands pre and bluffs occasionally. But this large bet is strange. I don't believe I've seen him do this before. I have the reputation of being tight and only getting large amounts of money in when I have a monster.

Should I call? Raise? I feel like my hand is way underepped. I feel like it's possible he rivered 2 pair or has been checking down 2 pair from the flop to try to hit the high hand.

why would you raise on a 4-straight?? You'd be bluffing. I fold this, no problem....you have little invested, why play bluff-catcher?

I mean, easy fold. You've said nothing to exclude a 7 or J from his hand, and it's super likely an overbet on that board into 3 other people means he has a J.

I would have liked to have seen a cbet on the flop. If you raised pre it's a natural cbet spot since you're losing to all but top pair. If you didn't raise pre, then it's a good spot to steal since most naked Qs would bet the flop when they hit top pair.

Fold turn

As played fold to the river overbet. Pot on start of turn was like 25? Why should we take a stand against a 2x pot bet on a four straight board?

Sorry guys, I don't remember exactly what the turn was. All I know was that a straight was only possible using both hole cards and his straight was 6-T. I remember this because he had T 7 and he needed both to make the straight. There was no 4 card straight on the board. Next time I'll take pictures of the board so I'll remember correctly when I post. I guess it's hard to talk about this hand not knowing what the exact board was. What I am sure was the river was an 8 and it completed his gutshot straight draw.

For this hand I ended up raising the river because I didn't think he'd bet the turn on a gutshot. I was hoping maybe he made 2 pair on the river. Perhaps the turn gave him one pair, so he bet, and the river gave him 2 pair, so he overbet. Either way, I'm sure I played it poorly.

Yeah the hand description is just not enough to meaningfully evaluate here.

I meant river started at $25, and that the board was such that only one hole card was needed for a straight. Still think turn is a fold and river certainly is too.
