Hero ?

The limpers are the typical very loose/passiv guys. They will call a reraise 98% of the time. The BB is very loose aggressive at least in heads up pots. I dont know if he 3bets also that light with 2others in that wont fold. Ok, the question maybe if he realizes that. Its clear that the limpers will not fold a club or any pair/piece of the board even for 2bets.

this is an easy check planning to call. the toughest decision is if bb bets and co or button raises. if they are truly loose/passive then i think you can lay this down in that scenario as you are usually drawing to 2 outs or less.

Re: AJs trickyspot
 

this is not a tricky spot at all. You flopped a very marginal hand in a big pot. Check and hope no one raises, and no a club doesn't hit the turn.

Ok, i checkd the flop. BB bet, Co call, Button call, i call.
Turn: 2d
BB bet, CO call, Button call, i call?

Re: AJs trickyspot
 

i would actually bet the turn for fear of it being checked through.
as played, it's between a call and a raise depending on the bb. if bb is a complete unknown i'm leaning towards a raise. even if you are somewhat behind bb's range, the other players are padding the pot. of course if all of them call and a club falls on the river, you will just check and fold.

edit: come to think of it, i guess an unknown who bets into 3 people would usually have you beat with an overpair or better, though he might easily have TT with a club or AQ with the ace of clubs etc. but i think on average you are too far behind his range to raise this. so i call. but i still like donking the turn to begin with.

Assuming the BB is passive I usually just donk/fold the turn after it inevitably goes raise-coldcall.
