I haven't played a lot at this limit, but I would assume this game is better than the average game at this limit. There are 3 loose players that limp/cold call too much and take their hands much too far, in seats 2, 4, and 8, all of whom are in this hand. the rest of the players are quite tight, and haven't been cold-calling much.
I'm in the 5-seat.
The big blind is in seat 1. A loose player who would raise almost any two broadway limps UTG. Another loose, bad player limps in seat 4.
I pick up A/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/club.gif and raise. Pro(?) to my left folds as I'd hoped, loose player in CO cold calls (he would do this with J8s, etc.), button folds, solid player (another pro?) in SB folds, BB folds, and limpers call.
All the players I wanted out folded, all the players I wanted in called. So far so good.
Flop is A/images/graemlins/club.gif Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 10/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
Checked to me, I bet. Loose CO calls, favourite customer #1 UTG calls, favourite customer #2 to my right calls.
Turn is 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif or some other rag.
Checked to me, I bet. CO folds, FC#1 check-raises, FC#2 calls. I think for a second and decide he could easily be making this play with a pair and a gutshot, any ace, or several other holdings I have beat. FC#2's possible holdings are approximately the same. I call.
River is the 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
Checked to me and I check.
