Default Was I aggressive enough on this hand?

This is a new limit for me. I notice that a 2/4 table can be more full of fish than 1/2 or .50/1.00. Such was the case here.
How would you have played this hand?



Paradise Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $2/$4
9 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, BB checks.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4SB, 5 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls.

Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3.5BB, 4 players)

Are you joking?

I think a bet on the turn is in order. Despite the conversion error, it seems that you have 2 opponents. I'm not liking the river.

bet the turn call a raise re-evaluate who is still in the hand, c/f river obviously given the pot size and types of players in.

The reason you bet the turn is because of what just happened you gave them a free card, don't assume u are already behind, u always need to think of protecting your hand FIRST

You have a set against two opponents and you're that worried about three flush cards being out? Bet this turn.

:grunch:

Bet the turn, there's lots of straight draws out there and there's 3 to a flush, with 3 opponents you can expect at least one to have a diamond.

As played I think you can fold the river

*Grunch*
Pre-flop good
Flop: Good
Turn: You must bet this. Just because the 3 flush is out there doesn't mean that someoene must have it.
Any diamond on the river kills your hand so does any 9 or K

River: I fold to the bet at the river. pot is too small and on that board our hand while nice is pretty much dog meat.

I lead out the turn. A set is a set despite it being bottom set.

As played i call down

Bet the turn! People loves to raise with flushdraws. U are probably still ahead, but u need to protect urself against 9-high fd + getting value from ur hand.

You guys are all correct I think. With two players and a set given the board, I needed to bet the turn. As it came out I took the hand with my 5's.
