i dont tend to raise pf these hands from the blinds with multiple callers, should i?

Is the river a standard check to induce a bluff from a busted draw? if he pots should i still call? or is bet/fold better?

Thanks!

Raise to $1.5 preflop. Even if you get callers you have a hand that plays well multiway. Also, your postflop fold equity increases. Preflop raises from the blinds tend to get more respect if the villains observe you as a capable player.

Otherwise the hand looks fine. Would you have called if a spade had landed on the river?

preflop is fine, this hand is standard.

How is this standard? By not raising this Preflop we are passing up a significant pot equity edge over the ranges of our opponents hands here. The rest of the hand looks fine to me as played.

If he's loose I would valuebet river. As played I would probably value/block bet the river for $5.

But we are OOP which is NOT good. Sure our hand has some pot equity there but IMO it dissapears being OOP. We could raise it up pf if we thought we could pick up the pot right there. By raising we are bloating the pot with not a great hand oop.
