Re: When do I raise my QQ on a ultra-loose table?
[ QUOTE ]
From a pot equity stand point, I should just raise this pre-flop and bet out on the flop. That seems like the best course of action, IMHO, but at the same time, QQ is not an ideal multi-way hand...but do I really have any other option?

You just answered your own question.
You simply give up too much by not raising this hand preflop with 4 opponents.
Its the same on the flop, where you also had backdoor flush and straight draws to go with your overpair.
Occassionally it may be correct to wait for the turn to raise with overcards. But that would be when the pot is so huge (like 20sb) that it really would be impossible to protect your hand with a raise on the flop.
Also to raise on the turn, you need to know that someone else will bet. Thats more likely to happen when you raised preflop and someone else reraised.
This time, you should have raised preflop and then bet out the whole way throughout the hand.
