Hand from DTD GP

(1/4) > >>

AMRN:
It"s level 300/600/a50, and I have 18k. (just moved up from 6k, and am above starting stack for first time in tourney - 6 hours in!). I have a tight image at table, although this hand is with a guy who just arrived.... no info on him at all.  SB has also just arrived and already shown a tendency to be super-loose with his massive stack.

I"m UTG and have 88, and choose to limp, with a plan to shove over any raise from three particular serial 3-bettors, or fold to any other raises. 

Folds round to the super loose SB who makes up, and the BB checks..... 3 way to the flop.

FLOP - 82K rainbow.  SB and BB check, and I check behind, hoping to show weakness that will get the super-loose SB into action.

Turn A (full rainbow). SB and BB check again, and I checked again, still trying to get the SB into action. [I feel I should have tried to get a pot on the go at this point though.]

River J. SB checks, BB bets 1100 into 2300 pot. I raise to 3300. SB folds. BB shoves (has me covered).

So - having slow played a flopped set to try and get a max payoff, I now have to call for my tourney. I have no reads on the BB player, and he is displaying no obvious weakness or strength physical tells. I have to make a decision based on situation and maths.

Call or fold?

mousebob:
My gut instinct is for QT & I"m reluctantly folding.
Too many free cards for my liking.
Time to start the rebuilding a stack process again!

George2Loose:
Yeh probs a raise/fold spot here. I can"t see him shoving worse here for value or bluffing against your table image

ian.ski309:
I"d like to chip in with a really wise and insightful reply here, but I"ve already seen the outcome on your FB status  ;)

AMRN:
By the way, my thought process was around the fact that when he shoves the only possible hand he can have that beats me is QT (I discount JJ, KK, or AA, due to the inactivity preflop). When his range is so polarised to either QT or a losing hand, does that make the decision easier or harder?
