Hi, only info what I have is UTG and CO are fishes, UTG limping a lot, CO calling a lot.

I was prepared to call if UTG and CO call raise from BB... after CO folded , I convinced myself to call to see flop ...
After this flop I was prepared to fold any bet.
On turn I was betting for value from 2 pairs, set of 7, Ahx what BB and UTG can have.
On river I still beting for value from 2 pairs, set of 7.
After his all in I insta fold, My thinking was he has Axh and wanna get max value.

What is your opinion ? Is call preflop acceptable if we have fish on UTG ? Can I bet turn and river in this spot ?

I imagine I'm calling sometimes vs the initial limpers, but it's an easy fold once the BB makes it 6BB

Being OOP vs 2 other players with a hand that is easily dominated is a recipe for disaster.

I would check turn , you can bet river small targetting weak pairs if it goes check check in the turn and theres not another heart on the river I think

R/f pre. You only need about 17% calling 5 to win 40, but oop Q8 will not realize enough eq vs multiple opponents. I think raising actually works pretty well here bc you gain some fold equity and can fold easily vs a 3bet. Imho.

Q8s has big reverse implied odds unless the flop is AdKd3d, or QQ8

The sad truth is that it's just really difficult to make money OOP, even to fish. Overlimping with this hand is whatever, but if you're calling BB's raise pre, you may want to take a look in the mirror because you may be the fish.
