One post, villains are both rather loose on the calling station side.

Do I bet the turn on this raggedy board? ANd now what do I do on the river? Looks like AQ may have caught up, I also can't beat pocket pair. I don't know how high his bluffing frequency is. I am getting 9.25 to 1 to call. This may be a reluctant call, what do you guys think?

I would probably bet the turn, thinking there's a decent chance I'm best, though I'll admit that having gotten called in all three places on the flop would make me hesitate. (I'm worried someone has a pocket pair.)

I think I would fold on the river. I doubt a loose calling station type will be bluffing into three opponents often enough. I think he probably hit his queen or has a pocket pair.

And on those occasions when he is taking a stab, you'll sometimes just be chopping with him.

Yeah one thing to point out ss if I call the river, I should have just bet the turn, as a result I could get one more bet if I had hit an Ace or a King.
