PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

The table is very loose with everyone rated either calling station or fish [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

From the SB I thought this was an easy completion with all the players in.

Flop: (8 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (8 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 bets, CO folds, Button folds, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds.

I was going to bet out and probably should have. I thought maybe, in a perfect world, an early would bluff at it and the rest would call allowing me to c/r when its back to me. When late bets I just called hoping others would call as well. I planned on donk betting turn.

Turn: (5.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, BB calls, MP3 folds.

I thought an EP would have done what MP3 did. I guess he didn't like his hand that much.

River: (7.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, BB calls.

Final Pot: 9.50 BB

Not sure I got the most out of this one.

I would bet the flop, and then go from there.

I don't see how you could have done better. Any flop with a pair on board is always scary.

If the table is loose/passive I'd just bet the flop. If it's loose/aggressive I'd probably go for the c/r

I was tempted to bet the flop. My opponents love to call, call, call. Its what they are really good at. I should have made the hand easy for them to play.

Let's see. You have seven (!) opponents seeing the flop, all of whom are calling stations. You have trips. Is this really that tough a decision?

From a post a while ago in the micros, just bet out, people will find ANY excuse to call you, the pot is not incredibly small (which means bet), and if it gets checked through, it will be a crime, fish call, but only if u bet, so bet, then the pot will for sure be bigger on the turn, then they'll want to call again, so BET AGAIN!!! then on the river, they're still there, and you most likely have the best hand, BET
