Should I be the bitch?

[NUReedy]

Both opponents in this hand are Grade A crap. The BB has bluffed huge into a pot on a busted flush draw and showed it. The other player has called down many many times with any sort of pair on the board. Regardless, I was confused.

Its an easy fold, no question. Even if these guys were bad enought to play hands that you beat that way then this isn't the hand to take their money, wait for a better spot down the line. Having the ass end of a 4 board straight is not a good situaiton to be in when someone bets a huge amount into a dry sidepot, even if they have a history of bluffing.

To be honest I'd have given up on the turn. Axo is a very unpleasent hand to have and loads of poor players will call with A7-T and they have you over a barrel. Against one player I'd continue to bet but against two you're in trouble.

i think your play on the flop is weak. You got top pair - crap kicker and there´s 4 more players in the hand. What was the idea behind the $1.5 bet? It´s not going to shut anybody out.
Trouble in such a spot is that if you make a bigger bet and get called you´ll probably end up losing to a bigger kicker or two pair.
In this case, I would just have checked the flop and see what happens.
As for the river, I think it´s an obvious fold. If the players were as bad as you said, you can be pretty sure someone has a higher straight there.

Good point on the flop bet, if its going to be made it needs to be for $2.50

Bet $5 on the river and fold to the push?

too small of a bet. it'd be easy for someone with a decent read on OP to see that as a blocking bet and bluff raise.

I hate playing AceX from the sb, especially if it is not suited, so I have to think that is your first mistake.

My line would something along checking the flop and hoping to go for a check raise overbet here hoping to take it down right there. If your opponents are really the morons you describe one of them will probably make a very small bet on the flop, several will call, then you can make your move.

If I don't take it down right there I am pretty much done with the hand considering what cards came on the river and turn.

I was thinking the same thing.
