big pot weak hand

Everybody Pinvolved is a complete donkey, and crazy loose.

Is there any other even remotely possible way to play this to make people face more bets at once?

i can't, but i knew if he had a better hand then me he'd raise, and i also knew that i couldn't fold in that big a pot cause he was capable of a bluff raise

I don't mind the check-call only if you can be sure that MP1 will bet a worse hand than yours on the river. If he checks behind his weak jack, eight, or seven then you really need to be betting the river. As it is, looks good.

first of all i dont like utg+1 raise aj os with a limper utg. second i dont like turn bet since the only draws that havent hit are the 56 queen or random second pair etc and i think that utg is very capable of check raising the turn if the k hit him.

Ugh.

Bet the river. If you "knew" you were beat you haven't given any read to suggest why.

Bet the river. He'll call with more hands than he'll bet. See Theory of Poker for more on this.

Good luck.
