[MICRO] over limp and bluff into 2 fish
i'm back after a long break from poker. i'm playing on a super soft super fishy US site. i'm ok with the overlimp, not sure if it's ok to bluff into 2 fish here. i turn a flush draw and a double gutter so i definitely have good equity against their wide ranges. how is my sizing? too big? also, not sure about calling with a gutshot and players left to act behind me on the flop. if someone with position were to raise my money would be dead.

Fold preflop.
The fold is always 0 EV, but I'm not sure we can get +EV by limping in the long run.
As played.
When we raise semi-bluffs we want to realize our equity + fold equity.
But when you're playing against two loose opponents, our fold equity is negligible and I would look to realize our hand by calling.
We have great implied odds and can often get extra value against two fish when our draw hits on the river.
