Feel limping along is probably the best option 70bb deep?
I should have iso'd bigger to 150 also.
As played, how are we playing underpairs against a limp/call rec?

PokerStars - 10/20 Ante 3 NL - Holdem - 9 players


MP: 1,384 (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 50.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 4)
MP+1: 1,526 (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 33.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
MP+2: 1,639 (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
CO: 1,452 (VPIP: 8.57, PFR: 2.86, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 36)
BTN: 1,629 (VPIP: 66.67, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
Hero (SB): 1,365
BB: 1,485 (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 3)
UTG: 1,494 (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 2)
UTG+1: 1,500

9 players post ante of 3, Hero posts SB 10, BB posts BB 20

Pre Flop: (pot: 57) Hero has 8 8

fold, fold, fold, MP+1 calls 20, MP+2 calls 20, CO calls 20, BTN calls 20, Hero raises to 120, fold, fold, MP+2 calls 100, fold, fold

Flop: (347, 2 players) 6 J T
Hero checks, MP+2 bets 120, Hero calls 120

Turn: (587, 2 players) 2
Hero checks, MP+2 checks

River: (587, 2 players) K
Hero checks, MP+2 bets 180, fold

Spoiler:
MP+2 wins 587

it's probably better just to flat here here and setmine.

as played the flop is really bad for us. x/f

If you are going to iso, I would raise to almost pot with is 177 here. This accounts for all the limpers and being OOP.

To me, this hand is borderline in both respects. 99 is a definite raise, 66 is a definite call and 88/77 are just sitting there in the middle and can kind of go either way here.

However, once you raise, I like the flop/turn play and I think you have to pay it off to the small river bet. He is aggro and if your are folding this, you may be folding too often to a LAG. Just think of the hands that may 3 bet and take this line? AT/99/88 and maybe 77. AK/KQ c-bets.

Unless you decided on a check/everything strategy on this flop. That would also allow you to fold without being exploited.

Level 1 I just limp behind in this spot.

River is interesting whether I lead to rep the K or bluff catch. I suppose he has more combos of small pairs and busted draws than he does Jx/Tx/99, and the Jx hands might not fold to a bet, so x/c probably is the best line.
