TT against large field
 

UTG is 31/10/1.23 over 518 hands
MP3 is 51/7/0.86 over 41 hands, rest are all loose passive (3 over 50 VPIP) although they have been folding postflop more often than the standard fish. Appreciate feedback on all streets.

<font color="blue">A goodish flop for me, obviously anyone holding a five is not going away. I bet out here hoping that the preflop raiser would raise again and face the field with two. It's something I try in these positions, is it a good idea? </font>

Re: TT against large field
 

I guess I play the same, except I would bet the river. MP3 obviously does not have a 5, so I don't think you will be raised on the river even if he has an ace. I'd put him on a pocket pair (maybe better than yours, maybe worse). But I'd bet the river for value.
