Hero (MP2): $2.10
CO: $2.43
BTN: $1.99
SB: $2.00
BB: $1.98
UTG: $2.00
UTG+1: $1.65
UTG+2: $3.99
MP1: $3.78

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP2 with 5 :club: 5 :spade:
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.02, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.02, 2 folds, SB calls $0.01, BB checks

Flop: ($0.10) 6 :heart: 5 :heart: 7 :spade: (5 players)
SB checks, BB bets $0.08, UTG+1 folds, MP1 raises to $0.20, Hero calls $0.20, SB folds, BB raises to $1.96 all in, MP1 raises to $3.72, Hero calls $1.88 all in

Turn: ($6.22) 6 :spade: (3 players - 2 are all in)

River: ($6.22) 8 :diamond: (3 players - 2 are all in)

MP1 is 19 / 11 / 3 (26%) over 2.9k hands. Reads: limps BTN with Axo, attacks turn/river only with a good hand.
BB is a complete unknown, this was 1st hand ever played against him.

Anyway:
- Limp is due to not paying attention at all, I actually thought someone raised. Don't ask :D
- On the flop I started paying attention, and decided to flat so BB can push if he wants.

Obviously when BB pushed and MP1 called, I started thinking about what they have (especially MP1)... I put one on a straight/OESD but the other could have a set here, which sucks. Nut FD is a possibility as well as 2 pairs.

Question:
1. Call the push or fold? Only a better set has me completely crushed, even against a straight I have a chance.
2. Do I need to jam flop instead of flatting? I liked flatting since that way I can catch a weaker hand.

Limping behind is fine imo, multiway pots are way better for our hand. I 3 bet the flop, and obv snap off when we have the odds.

I only limp small pairs in EP, in MP I like to raise them since it is so much better when I actually hit a set (easier stacking) and even if I miss cbets = +EV.

Thx, I kinda wanted action from BB since unknown = fish most of the time :)

As above said, also as played gii just because its 2nl. Flatting the flop allows for so many action killers it's really bad

Ye get it in, we've odds to call anything bar 66/77 which are highly out numbered by 56/67/89/34/xhxh. If a higher set shows up consider yourself coolered.

OK, thanks.

BB had :7d4::4c4: for TP + OESD, MP1 had :ah4::3h4: for nut FD, so I won with my full house. Had 52% equity on the flop.
