Haven't read the other replies yet or the results,


On the flop - when someone cold calls a bet and a raise on a paired board like this alarm bells should go off. SB probably betting an 8 or possibly the other 3 in which case you're smooshed because of your kicker, but the limper I'm putting on 1 of 2 hands 88 or A3, so either way you're smooshed

I would check to him on the turn to see what he does and to keep the pot small. This way he will either check the turn or make a smallish bet thinking you have a weak hand, if you show strength after those 2 calls on the flop he will know he can bet big and reel his catch in

Personally i want nothing to do with this hand once the SB and a limper want to stay involved. You represented a 3 and it didn't scare either of them, you should be scared. I would have folded to any bet by the limper on the turn, and maybe, I stress maybe, called a smallish bet by him on the river to see what he has


This is one of the most obvious situations where you are up against a monster, When there are 2 3's (or whatever card) on the board and 2 people are betting and raising with a 3rd just calling. That guy calling is yelling for his wife to come in and watch him bust the other 2. There are only 2 other 3's in the deck so why is this 3rd guy sticking around?
