Reads
BB = Aggressive, but has not show anything ridiculous
MP = LAG. Has shown a willingness to bet, call and raise with both great and questionable holdings

$1/2 NL (9 handed)
BB ($500)
MP ($250)
Button Hero ($550)

Hero is dealt 87
UTG straddles $5, 3 players call $5, Hero calls OTB, BB raises to
$20, MP calls $20, Hero calls $20

In position, against one deep stack opponent and one opponent who is capable of spewing, I gamble that this hand can be played. Bad idea?

Pot = $76 (Three Handed)
Flop = T 8 7

BB bets $75, MP pushes all-in for $230, Hero ???

With the given vague reads that we have, can we call/push here?
With different reads, would our decision be different?

Please advise,

Pre is fine. You're getting over 4:1 to call and close the action. Villain is plenty deep to call and see a flop in position 3-way.

BB likely has an overpair or cbet with overcards. Bad luck if he has a set of tens. MP can have any kind of draw, from 99 to QsJs to JdTd. He would have raised with TT. Again, bad luck if he has one of the two combos of 88/77 or T8s.

I'd shove here. I want BB to fold and get heads up against MP likely semibluff.

Shove. BB is very unlikely to have you beat here, and MP is more likely on a draw than a made hand here.

BB probably folds unless he has like AXs. High variance spot, but it's probably correct to get it in.
