QQ in a big pot

[DaveFoldsFive]

Around the turn, I pretty much just want to get to the showdown. But is there another way to play it?

Just sat down at the table about 6 hands ago, but it seems a slightly more loose than usual. Hard to tell, though.

You've got to bet the turn here. No way I want to give AK or a heart draw a free card. Besides, you might be ahead. If you're checkraised, you can fold or call down, depending on your reads.
