Default Rusult - 1-2 BB makes it $25 and it’s a 9 way family pot

Maybe not now but I had strong TAG image, I always have in this game.

I got called by a guy that never raises (ever) with pocket aces or any other hand thats not the nuts on the river. He called all in for $100 of the bet and showed AA so my river pair was no good. I think the bluff will pay off later so maybe it had some value.

The more I thought about it the worse the play looked. With 8 limpers 2 or 3 of my ace outs are gone. If I get a second or third caller (which could happen in this game) my flush in no good and I'm drawing to 3 6's and maybe 1 ace.

Thanks guys

I like it if you think your heart outs are clean. They're probably clean about 2/3 of the time. And you're going to pay your stack if they aren't.

It isn't really a semibluff, because you obviously aren't going for fold equity - you're looking for 3-4 callers. If you get 3ish callers, your bet is +EV because you put x in getting 3x put in at the same time, giving yourself semi-immediate odds > 3:1. You really want 4 callers to make up for the times your heart outs are dead.

If you don't think you can get 4 callers chasing their paint or their straight or their kicker or whatever, and there is certainly a few pairs in this pot, then don't bother.
