JTs from CO w/3 limpers

Reads:Villain is ~80/25 after 20 hands. He has been raising with anything (J6, T7 and 3bet 36o against 3 opponents). Postflop pretty passive. UTG+1 is 80/0 and again very passive postflop. MP2 has been tight preflop.

Preflop=standard?
On the flop I think I'm ahead so raise to try and knock out any flush draws.
I think I played the turn OK. After the 3bet I went into call down mode. I figure from what I have seen from him I will win this hand often enough to make this call profitable. Did I play this hand OK?

Raise pf, rest is standard, imo.

I might raise this preflop as long as villain doesn't like to limp reraise junk for the hell of it. Postflop is fine.

Grunching.

The only thing I'd do differently is raise pf. If your passive post-flop read on villain was over more than 20 hands, I think one could make an argument for just calling down the turn on this scary board.

Super easy preflop raise, I like the rest.

I considered raising pf but my line of thinking was that JT plays best against many players so I wanted the blinds in as well and a raise might make them fold. Is this wrong?

not necessarily "wrong", but just think of it differently:

you already have their money whether they stay in the hand or not- you're only losing .5sb from the small blind. if you leave them in, their junk may suck out on you, plus the limpers behind you will stay in for 1 bet, so you make more by getting the blinds and their junk to fold and getting everyone to pay more now.

Perhaps this is a leak in my game, but...whenever I have position on a player like your villain, I just love to raise him whenever he limps preflop, and I have a semi-decent hand. I hate seeing guys like this take down the money. I know in the long run they go broke if they don't adjust, and I want to help them go broke when I'm playing.

I raise this preflop.

Hadn't thought of it that way before. Makes perfect sense though. I will be sure to raise it next time. Thanks
