50NL -- Another huge pot, trips top kicker multiway

[Kasane]

MP is 40/11/1
CO is 36/8/1

egad.... we all know they shouldn't be flatting with sets, but when a passive player wakes up...

Preflop:
Raise that, your hand is likely to be best.

Flop:
Fine.

Turn:
Fine, too, imo.

Everything's fine IMO.. if he's flatting with sets, he's flatting with J9-JK too. Preflop is fine I think, either way it's marginal between raise or check.

I play it exactly the same.

I usually just check preflop in this spot as well.

With a hand like AJ a preflop raise is largely for isolation. In this case we have 4 other people that want to get involved, there's no way we're folding them all out.

[Berky]

All seem super standard to me. I agree with what z28dreams said about raising the AJ

[IAGTTAYM]

Hmm, if Mp wasn't in the hand I would flat the raise. But with him left to act, I think we have to shove, as he would be getting good odds with a draw if we flat.

preflop - urrgh I hate it when so many people limp. Would probably stick in a biggish raise to get at least a few of them out, and to narrow ranges of those who stayed in.

flop - make it 2.50 maybe?

Turn - I'd bet... but I hate these spots. Pocket paira or a hand like 98s are totally consistent with CO's play. I'd probably just call the raise and reevaluate on the river.

I guess we can get it HU with a 8BB raise or do you think they'll call 7 extra BB with their weak hand?

I like raising preflop, but i am not a 50NL regular, so i might be wrong.
