What to do with river'd trips?

Really loose opponents here, all three above 50 vpip.

I'd 3bet AJ pre... AT is close. But I may end up playing capped pot 4way which is not ideal (or is it?). I think should lead the flop more often than checkraise right? Since it's 4 to the flop and I can't really expect raiser to bet. Clear mistake there.

On river...? Is this a flush so often that I can b/f with confidence or just have to suck it up and call? I check and miss too much value IMO. Can't just put them on the draw every time. Eh.

Raise. There is no reason to think he has you beat. A passive player will player a weaker T like this all the time.

He'll play a flush the same way to, and there are more heart combos that he'll play PF than other tens. I'd just call.

Doh, I missed the flush. Yes, you're right. I'd just call as well.

But do we want to have a decision if he caps the river?

Hand was played well postflop. 3-bet or fold preflop. Just calling with ATo in the SB multiway is a recipe for suck. I'd 3-bet.

the CC preflop doesnt look right

Opponents with 50 VPIP are bad, so you want to play decent hands against them, not fold.

But if you 3bet, playing ATo out of position versus at least 2 opponents in a big pot is not great either...

I rarely coldcall, but I think this is an ok spot to do that.

edit: I fold preflop if the PFR% of the raiser is low.

I make it 3 preflop for value and to create dead money in the pot.

Postflop is good
