should i call this? and is that a good bet on the turn? it's enough to make calling on a draw a mistake, i think. though maybe not cause those times he hits and bets a moderate amount, pot odds probably force me to call.

IMO you're better off c/f all the way through. 2nd pair in a 5 way pot is usually not the best hand.

usually i do, i just had a pretty good read since they seemed to be betting if they caught at all. as played would you call the river here? how about the size of the bet on the turn?

villian ended up having AK of spades here so was on a draw on the turn. the thing i'm having a problem with is that he made a mistake by calling the turn since he was calling 120 into 270 but was only 30% to win. but when he bets the river here and i call, he isn't making a mistake because of effective odds. so i'm wondering if i should bet more on the turn to compensate for this, or be more willing to fold the river to an overcard here even if i put him on a draw on the turn
