Hey all just looking for some different viewpoints on this hand that happened to me today.

Hero($445) 25 years old, is probably viewed more on the TAG side but I have been opening fairly wide while still playing a smart game. Have not shown down any "bad" hands and pretty much running over the table.

Villian 1($225) 60ish Hit me pretty good earlier when I limped EP in a straddled pot with pocket 4's and he came along as well. Long story short I flopped bottom set on a 478 board and he had 56. Doubled up off me (Had $100.)

Villian 2($250) 30ish Nothing much to say here. Pretty TAG overall but also pretty bad.

Villian 3($135) 40ish Main Guy in the hand. Has only played one orbit and seems to be fairly bad overall. Chasing for bad draws when its obvious hes beat. Started with $200 (max buy-in.)

On to the hand.

Hero is UTG in a straddled pot ($4) and look down at QQ. Now on V3's very first hand he straddled and UTG+1 opened to $16 and it started a chain reaction (4 callers plus him.)

My average raise was from $12-$15 but remembering this I raise to $25 (sizing?).

V1 is MP and thinks about 30 seconds looking likes hes going to fold several times but eventually calls. I am actually quite surprised by this.

It folds around to V2 on the button and he also thinks for about 30 seconds and calls.

I am quite surprised I got 2 callers for $25. This is far above the normal raise. The blinds both fold and V3 snaps the $25.

Flop is 8h 7h 3c

V3 thinks for about 10 seconds and open shoves for $110.

Hero?

Was really confused on what to do here with two people behind me.

Over shove to isolate and get it in vs flush draw

Preflop sizing is fine, in straddled pots my standard raise is $20 sometimes $25

Given the stack sizes just shove it in cause you aren't folding to a raise if you just call anyway

Ship it, not likely the two hands behind you have you beat but you don't want them to draw out with what they would think might be pot odds if you just called.

Not the best spot with the other two villains behind you, but yeah overshove you are crushing his range.

Now lets just hope neither one of the villains behind was setmining 88 or 77.
