O/8 1-2
6 limpers, I call in sb with jj55 for the extra .50 cents, and bb checks.

Flop comes JJ5r, and I check and it gets checked around.

Turn is T same suit as the J. I check, person in LP bets, I call and 1 more caller in EP.

River is another T. Checked to LP, he bets, I raise, EP folds, LP raises and I cap.

He caught runner runner quads, but i drag the pot.

nice pot, but bet the flop. when the board comes like this, you have two ways to get action: from low draws and from people who hit a full house with a pocket pair. charging the backdoor lows now is the best way to get anything out of it. if they all fold, you may have saved yourself half a pot.

I was thinking that, but if a low card came on the turn then I would get action from everybody who was drawing at a low, and the river might not give them a low. So is it worth possibly losing half a pot to get all the action on the turn if it comes low and never gets there?
