QQ at a loose table

[afk]

Just a stars $5 + 0.50. Table has been very loose in calling preflop raises but gets a lot more timid after the flop.

I think I should have raised more preflop (how much?), but I was playing two other tables and only notice one limper instead of two (oops).

I think the flop was pretty risky but I had this thought pop in my head that "I'm only going to win this if I make a big move". I kinda felt like I should try to take it down right then and there. But I think my move may have been a bit over the top. Comments?

I play Party (with only 800 to start), so my thinking may be a little different.

PF: I would raise this to about 175-180 (4x the BB + 2 limpers), maybe a little more if people are loose calling

Flop: Bet about 3/4 of the pot, maybe 500. This should do about the same as pushing, and it will probably prevent you from losing your stack to a slow-played set.

I find its better to bet 75-100% of the pot, people are more inclined to call on an all-in, and I've been runner runnered too many a time. Playing 5+1s.
