Default Always? play your sets fast?

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls.

I personally don't like this limp after only 2 callers but I made it anyway because the remaining players are quite loose postflop.

Flop: (10 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+2 folds, Hero

Should I raise now when I surely can get the money OR wait to turn and raise when pf-raiser surely bets again?

Lose this mindset and limp here everytime. You have to play pots against bad players to take their money. You should WANT to play more hands against idiots.

Raise the flop for value.

Easy raise with the two limpers in there. Even if SB 3bets, at least one is prolly calling. The turn is another story for most callers against a raise. Get the money going in now.

You have the field trapped; put the pedal to the metal and get everyone's money in while you are still good! If the bet came from your immediate right I could understand a smoothcall, but you are pissing away too much value here. There is also the chance that SB will give you all the action you can eat, which would result in a monster pot. You can not afford to miss that chance.

If your going to raise, I'd only call if 3-bet. If the SB raises your raise he probably has an overpair. This sets up a raise on the turn, and hopefully one of the other two donks keep calling as well. Thats how I'd play it anyway.

The board is pretty uncordinated. You could wait until 4th street to raise if you want. Your raise on the flop will stop the raiser in his tracks if he has just overcards though.

I think you should call since the board is generally drawless, and raise the turn like you said. However if the table's really loose and you think you'll get plenty of callers anyway, raising here isn't a terrible idea.

Raise. You have 2 guys trapped. If either of them are on a draw, you want to make it as expensive as possible.

I say raise now when you trap all three for one more bet. Also this builds a pot and make players more likely to pay you off on turn and river too.

It's a clear raise to me.
