One bump. I know I'm leaking OOP with marginal made hands.

I have a similar leak.

With 5 other players in the pot, it is hard to play a small pot with a marginal hand. My brain hurts thinking about this one.

Well, I'll put my thoughts up on the hand then.

PF: I consider raising to clear out the limpers and since QJo doesn't play well OOP. I'd have to raise at least 6 bb's. I limp instead trying to keep the pot small.

Flop: I check hoping to see what develops. MP1 is a laggy player and I could easily be ahead. I just call to see the turn. I didn't want to lead out into the field with a weak hand only to get called and have a large pot get created.

Turn: I lead out (folding to a raise) with the scare card hitting, maybe I should have bet more here.

River: Value bet, hoping he calls with a marginal hand.

What else can you do? I don't think you can raise this PF cause your gonna be oop the rest of hand + JQ works OK in a multiway pot. With aggression stats like his I would imagine if he had something he would have either raised preflop or raised the turn, but the 3rd spade likely scarred him. Not enough to fold though. You might bet a bit more on the turn, but I'm not sure it would make much of a difference.
