Top trips facing a turn raise
$1/$2 game on a Saturday afternoon.
This is probably a pretty simple spot, and there is really only one villain in the hand, but sharing all of the following reads anyway just for a laugh:
Hero in UTG1 - I should have a solid, aggressive image. I lost a few medium-size pots to the table spot, but have chipped up a bit since then and now cover this relatively short-stacked table.
UTG2 - Loose-passive fish
HJ - Bad reg. He and I have some history (see: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/170/l... ) and I am out for revenge, but he’s a non-factor here.
BTN - Older white guy and the villain in this hand. I previously thought he was very tight, but then we played a hand where I opened EP with AJo (no d) and he was the only caller on the button. Flop came J67dd, I cbet, he called. Turn 7ddd xx. River 9dddd I x he xb and show T8o for the rivered straight. Starts this hand with $265.
SB - The biggest “spot” at the table. Wealthy, obnoxious New Yorker in all-designer everything. Claims to crush the $5/$10 game here, but is short-buying $1/$2 and playing like a loose-passive whale. He has doubled up three times (twice through your hero) and we are $350eff.

I open UTG1 to $7 playing 8-handed and get four calls from the above players.
Flop is 9h 6h 6s ($37 before rake)
SB checks, I check, and it checks around.
Turn is 9h 6h 6s 2s ($37 before rake)
SB checks, I bet $15 and it folds to the button who makes it $50. SB folds. Hero?
Do you bet flop 5 ways, or go for the check-raise? Bet-3b here or just flat? I know that some people are going to roast the $7 open size and probably the loose open, so have at it…
