1st hand I've played at this table, 5th hand dealt since I sat down. I've seen polyinter98 calling down 3rd pair, pushing his entire $20 stack into a > $1 pot, and showing down 92s since I've been at the table.

On the flop, the hand I am most worried about is 34 or an overpair. I discount an overpair as I wasn't reraised preflop and I have a little faith that these players won't call a 5xBB raise with 34.

I'm questioning my reraise on the flop. I'm wondering if I should have just called, but as you see EVERYONE at the table is calling his raise. I feel like I have the best hand as well as the best draw so I push.

The looser the table, the higher the variance. Just put it in the middle with the best of it and you'll be fine in the longrun.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Thanks for the input. I thought my play was good but after losing I was questing myself. Heres what happened:

*** SHOW DOWN ***
Red Xong: shows [Ad 6h] (a pair of Sixes)
polyinter98: shows [9d 9c] (a straight, Five to Nine)
polyinter98 collected $4.15 from side pot-2
jenny529: mucks hand
polyinter98 collected $8.05 from side pot-1
Snowspire: mucks hand
polyinter98 collected $18.45 from main pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $32.20 Main pot $18.45. Side pot-1 $8.05. Side pot-2 $4.15. | Rake $1.55
Board [6s 5c 7h 8c 3h]
Seat 1: polyinter98 showed [9d 9c] and won ($30.65) with a straight, Five to Nine
Seat 3: jenny529 (button) mucked [3c 2c]
Seat 4: Red Xong (small blind) showed [Ad 6h] and lost with a pair of Sixes
Seat 6: Snowspire (big blind) mucked [8h 8d]

Yeah, not a whole lot you can do when you have 40BB given that flop w/88. Just make sure you reload to the max and put RedXong and jenny529 on your buddy list!
