How would you handle this situation?
Early position, 6 handed, 4 of the players loose, mostly passive, will and do call anything down to the river.
I have pocket Aces, make it 2 bets preflop from early position. All call. Flop comes Axx rainbow. Since I know these players will call anything, I bet 2x pot on flop, 2 callers, another relatively large bet on the turn, 1 caller.
Villian catches diamond for miracle flush (holding J3D).
Later on, same thing happens with pocket jacks (again, flopped Jxx rainbow) and pocket kings, except with the kings no one caught the river. A different player called me on my jacks.
I know there should be a way to make money on these guys, but how? Am I stupid to bet my big pairs preflop?
