Easy bet on the river?

I thought about betting the flop with the hopes of MP raising and thinning the field, but that never seems to work for me in this game.

fold preflop.

failing that, bet the flop baby.

You fold that getting 7:1 pre flop? Is that because q9o is so eadily dominated (and possibly in two places, one for each card)?

Why do you want to bet this ?

The raiser will have you beat often and it hits a coldcalling range pretty well too.

i don't fold this preflop

My play is to check down the river. A four way situation where all players called with an ace on board could point to a weak ace on the button or SB, and if not there are a few queens bigger than yours. Just my two microscopic cents.

I bet because no one showed any strength on the turn so I may very well be ahead here (that is it is a thin value bet). The questions are: am I ahead enough AND will a lesser hand call me enough to make this profittable. I certainly don't see any lesser hands bluffing if I check. MAYBE the last to act will fire a bet here if checked to, but against three opponents I doubt it.

So far I think there is one vote for bet the river and two for check.

you're right. thinking about it now, i think the play is to check, and see what happens.. then checkraise or check/fold.
