Is this a call? What is he making this move with? I mean, maybe 88? I think he is continuing with a lot of overs here?

why are you raising pre here?

and no, don't call, you're either behind or very nearly behind

Check pre, no point inflating the pot with this hand and these stack sizes OOP

Flop is pretty close, we are getting the right price against this range for example, not sure how accurate it is though:

Board: 4h 3h 7s
Dead:
Hand 0: 35.038% 34.53% 00.51% 17434 256.50 { 5d5h }
Hand 1: 64.962% 64.45% 00.51% 32543 256.50 { 88, 66, 44-33, AhQh, AhJh, AhTh, Ah9h, Ah8h, A7s, Ah6h, A2s, KhQh, KhJh, KhTh, Kh9h, Kh8h, QhJh, QhTh, Qh9h, JhTh, 65s, A7o }

If you're gonna raise pre make it 3x + 1 per limper, that raise is gonna get no one to fold ever. You're just inflating the pot OOP playing for the setmine or the check/fold. I don't hate raising since BTN and CO limpers always have air, but that was ugly.

That flop was about as good as you could hope for barring a set. I think villain has A7hh, other FD hands, 7X, or a set. So you're flipping at best, way ahead never, and dead most of the time.

But I call anyways because **** him thats why.

this is played pretty awful. Why do you want to go 3 handed out of position with 55 when the majority of the time you are going to be either c/f or b/f the flop. Raise to 1050 or so if you are gonna raise preflop but best play is to see a flop cheaply in this spot. I always try to avoid situations such as this but as played preflop and 2500 in the pot I might go for c/raise all in myself on flop. I fold in your spot to his all in though......please never play 55 like this again unless I'm at the same table or tourney as you

Ugh, as played I guess I call flop shove and make a point of binking a 6.
Limp pre, check/eval flop.

I like calling much more if the 4 is a heart instead of the 7 fwiw.

flat pre or raise more (flat is best play). shove flop. 1200 is **** and obv a weak bet by a weak hand.
