Hero ($300, UTG) mid 20s male
V1 ($500, LP) mid 40s male. Loose/passive
V2 ($170, BTN) mid 40s female. Weak/passive

Game is 1/3 nine handed. No specific reads as I recently sat down.

I limp in from UTG with 88 and we see a flop six way

876

BB bets 10 which gets called by four or five of us (can't remember exact numbers)

Turn is a 9

V1 bets 15, V2 raises to 35, I call, V1 calls. Just us three to the river which is a 9

I bet 100, V1 pushes all-in, V2 calls and is also all-in, I...?

Don’t limp 88 UTG.

Also this hand history is horrible in terms of painting a clear picture of the action. Clean that **** up if you want feedback.

As played, you’re never folding here so what’s the question?

I don't see how you're folding this, this is a pretty easy decision? Instacall and thank the dealer and/or chalk it up to a cooler if you see 89.


If you're gonna limp w/88 I really suggest at least raising that flop on that seriously wet board w/5 limpers

Very easy river call. Hate the way the way you played the flop....gotta raise there IMO.

Preflop is fine. I like the limp.

Flop I'm probably raising to $35 although I don't hate calling.

Turn is a clear call.

River is actually somewhat close. It's not a fistpump call, but it's a call nonetheless. Expect V1 to have a boat at least 80% of the time here, and expect him to have 9s full at least 40% of the time.

I'm ok with preflop.

I'm thinking flop is too drawy to just flat. Although if others behind are aggro on flops like this we could flat to raise. I mostly raise here though.

Action is a little confusing on the turn; is there only the original better left to play? Next time put pot sizes on each street. It looks like it is currently $120 so we're getting about 3:1 to chase our boat outs, and V1 might come along to help pad the pot. But V1 might be sucking up some outs if he comes along, plus he might re-raise. I think with the betting open against someone who bet this turn this multiway, there is too big a chance he re-raises, so I think we have to fold.

I've lot track of pot size, but I think we have a little over a PSB left or something? I probably just shove myself. As played, I think we clearly have to call even though we could be overboated (but we overboat others sometimes too) and V2 is probably too short to fold their straight.
