No particular reads on the table, although it is pretty loose, because I'm playing multiple tables. How does everyone else play this? I just wasnt sure, check the turn? check the flop? When I bet I was prepared to fold to any checkraise. Just seems like with all these callers there is no way I can be ahead. But I've learned not to be afraid of callers, be afraid of the raisers so I just kept on betting, wrong? suicide in this situation? It just seems like someone has to have a 7 or 55 or something and is calling me down. Obviously the river is a no brainer, and I'm glad it fell. If something like a 4 had fallen, I'd check this behind, right?

But I've learned not to be afraid of callers, be afraid of the raisers so I just kept on betting, wrong?

I dunno but with 5 flop callers I would be strongly inclined to take a free peak at the river.

So does that mean you bet the flop? Check through on the turn? Then raise the river if someone else bets into you, otherwise bet if checked to?

Thanks - for the help on all my posts

I would bet the flop in your shoes about 100% of the time. The jack is a great card in that it allows you to repesent a big hand and get middle pocket pairs, a 7 as well as many of those pesky overcards who hopefully and probably will fear they might be drawing dead given your turn bet to fold (most/a lot will presume you wouldn't bet the turn with just a flush draw or less than a J). I missed that. Given this action I would bet the turn 100% of the time (I misread your original and didn't realize the turn paired the top card).

If called on the turn I would plan on checking the river as I see little value in a bet unless you catch a duece. I like everything you did here.

Alright, I agree with that. I wasnt planning on betting the turn again with so many callers, but then the another jack fell and I thought I may be able to get a better hand to give up, or I might actually have the best hand. Betting should also clear up my ace out if I am behind.
