Default A hand.

Table is loose and terrible in general, but otherwise no specific reads. 4th was an attempt to thin the field and build the pot with my big two pair (mostly the latter given these boards). Obviously Seat 1's board is very scary on 5th, particularly given the action on 4th, but hearts are pretty dead, there's a good chance he's one of those super loose players who can't fold a pair on 4th and will just keep calling with it (discounting the likelihood of a 4-flush), and I don't want to give a free card to 3 opponents if my hand is good, so I bet. On 6th, Seat 1 has a monster board and checks? I cannot think of what hand he has represented that I am beating after this action. I just decide to play cautiously and try for a free card. Once he checks again, I'm fairly sure I have him beat, so I make a value bet where I hope to get calls, maybe even overcalls, from worse two pair hands.

Thoughts?

It's hard to put someone on a hand that's just called down at every opportunity; I would guess he has a small pair in the hole that doesn't include a heart since he might have bet at some point if he did. When he checks 6th to you you have to keep betting your QQ-up. If he was trying to c/r the entire field, so be it; you are completely live to fill.

Who knows what seat 1 has? He's loose and terrible, right? It probably isn't a flush, and it probably isn't trips. You're probably still winning. I'd be more inclined to bet sixth and check seventh than the other way around.

With the small ante and the difficulty in making a hand like Queens-up hold up in a multi-way pot, I'd be inclined to fold to the completion on third.

I didn't think the call on 3rd was too terrible. No has a doorcard higher than a Q, my hand is completely live, and even though I could make queens up and still lose, the odds are attractive regardless.
