1/3, 300 effective with the main villain

I have been playing for 2 hours, the table is very loose and limp-heavy. I raised to $25 over two limps and got two callers, including 43o in the big blind about 20 minutes before. The main villain is an older white guy, limited history at this point but he had been running well and was not totally old-man-coffee weak passive.

I have 6s6c on the button, UTG limps, +1 calls, HJ calls, and CO calls. I decided to overlimp here given the table dynamics; it is something new I have added to my game based on the recent multiway adjustments thread and I just didn't want to go three+ ways to the flop with a middling pocket pair.

Big blind also calls and we go 6 ways to the flop

Flop (~$15): 5h6h7d

Big blind leads for $15, it goes fold, call, fold, call. Hero ??

Flat and evaluate turn. No need to go broke here. I'd raise if it were heads up.

Raising big is OK, but we hate so many turns, and they aren't folding big hearts, straight draws, etc., plus they might have some of our FH outs.

I'm overlimping in this spot 100% of the time.

Interesting flop spot, imo. With "don't go broke in a limped pot" ringing in my ears, I think I just flat the flop and evaluate how to proceed on the turn card/action.

Flat and evaluate. Don't want to bloat the pot just yet.

I remember that multiway adjustments thread. I said to keep raising pocket pairs.

As played, I think it is close. I guess I agree with the consensus so far that we should call and see a turn. The BB being the one that bet matters to me here. He has 48 combos of straights (98/84/43), not to mention others can have lots of straight combos that they are slowplaying. But there are also a lot of draws, which is why it's close to me.

Ok well that was the only interesting decision point given how I played the hand.

I decided to raise to $80, BB jammed, EP called for slightly less, CO folded, and I groan-called. I figure at that point I am just hoping that EP has a flush draw and is not holding my boat outs.

Lost to the BB's nut straight

Looks like we're getting about 3:1 to call the shove? Yeah, probably a groan call at this point. If the other guy is on a flush draw then I think we're sitting at about 2:1 equity. Sucks if he's sucking up some of our outs and/or BB is sitting there with 77. But sometimes BB is going wacko with worse.

Unless it’s an OMC that only has a straight here, for 100bb this spot is dealer’s choice.


Call and evaluate or shovel money in on flop. Neither is bad.

I think calling in position with outs to effective nuts in position >>> usually gii as a flip or dog. Sure they could just flat the raise or we can deny equity but the cons outweighs the pros of raising.

We have position, let’s make their life difficult.
