My definition of "loose game with bad players" is Stars PLO25. It's funny as [censored] to have somebody raising from the BB and the 6 other limpers cold-calling.

He's an example...(Theoretical hand, not a real one.)

You have Ks7sTd9d from the SB, the pot is unraised, and you complete.

The pot comes TT7, giving you the nuts...

You bet the pot and get 2 callers...

A Q comes on the turn.

You bet 2/3 of the pot this time and get one caller.

To make it interesting, the river's an 8, and the one person left in the pot is an above-average player for the PLO25 level, and is fairly aggressive but still makes occasional loose blunders.

You bet half the pot and get raised all-in...

Do you call or fold?

I would think the standard play would be to fold.

But if by loose game/bad players you mean players are raising with straights in this spot then call.

I would have check/called the river. Not too many hands you beat are going to pay you off. By check calling, you could induce hands you beat to bet, and you make this decision less uncomfortable.
