So I'm playing a game at home with some friends of slightly lower skill than myself, and the cash game is reaching a close here at 7 AM. I look down in BB and see 6d8h and am a big lead in chips. We are 3-handed.
BB is 10.
Button bets 5x blind, SB calls, I am feeling tired and call, perhaps wrongly, figuring these guys share at least one card and are drawing against each other, or are at least in the same range.
Flop : 7s9hTc
SB checks, I bet 50, figuring I have the nuts, both players call.
Turn: Js
SB checks, I bet 200. Button moves all-in with a 475 raise. SB calls.
SB has about half my own stack remaining (I'm at about 5,000)
What would you do?
And, so you can cheat just a tad, river is 2s.

I would fold preflop, and I would bet a lot more than 1/3 the pot on the flop, or check raise them if I knew they were going to bet. As for the rest, I don't know, call or something.
This doesn't sound like a cash game though...unless you guys are crazy and playing with 5000 dollars.

If you're playing cash and that's in dollars and not cents, I'll gladly come help you guys with your play if you allow me to sit with you.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Stack sizes are extremely important in every hand, can you remember what they were?

Oh, also, the river card means absolutely nothing whatsoever and has no effect on this hand. Do you see why?

he got tripletsor straight, bet call his all-in, worst situation is he has Q or K high straight, unless he's a maniac he wouldn't raise that much without getting his flush

That's why I showed the River, because it didn't matter, so I didn't mind going ahead and doing it.
Anyhow, I just made the call, no raise. On the river, SB checks, (he check-raises aLOT and I am getting a sick feeling from this hand), so I check it down.
SB( 2050): Qc8c
Button(725): AsJc
Me(4225): 6d8h
It's not exactly dollar value on the chips, Shazbox. If you must know, it's $0.50 on the dollar, so I'm sitting on $200, about 4 times what I bought in for. The point of this post, though: 3-handed against 2 very aggressive players, was it reasonable to expect I would be drawn out against like that, or was it appropriate to try to encourage someone to hang themself?
NOTE: I should also throw in that since this is a friendly home game, by this point I was fairly drunk so let's just let that and the fact we've said it's our last hand, be the explanation for the call pre-flop.
