I love suited cards in the BB

First hand at the table, and this place is complete and utter LAG with 70% seeing the flop and the average pot > 10BB.

I think I mangled this considering my position (immediate left of the big better) and should have encouraged overcalls.

PokerStars 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (8 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.05.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero (poster) checks, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB bets, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 raises, Hero 3-bets, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Well, the 3-bet worked out okay...

Turn: (12 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, MP1 raises, MP2 3-bets, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 caps, MP2 calls, Hero calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

I think I'm up against a set here. I call figuring it will be capped, and it is. At this point I figure someone has a set or 2 pair and I really don't want to see 6:d: or Q:d:.

River: (34 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets, Hero raises, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls.

Call here, and hope I get everyone to call? Or is the raise g00t?

Final Pot: 38 BB

MP2 flips over K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and I take down the biggest pot I have... but could it have been bigger?

looks okay, i guess.

I may try for overcalls there, you gained 1BB where overcalling would have guaranteed at least 2BB out of 4 players...
