Bet the pot.

I would have check- raised because if the loose players raise the rest of the table is more likely to call their raise than yours and then your reraise will push drawing hands out.

You are playing calling stations not bluffers. There are potential draws out there and you have 4 opponents. At least one of them will have part of that flop and another on a draw. As soon as one player calls the bet others are getting odds to stay in and hit, so I am playing this quite fast becasue I don't like my position.

Post is 600 I hold 5400. I bet 1000 on the flop and however many callers if the turn is a brick I am all in if it fills my boat I will lead out the same 1000 to represent the trips with pair on board and pray someone comes over the top.

It's pot limit... max bet is 600.

Does put a different slant on things (I only play NL really and always assume everyone the same - detail HS detail - I really should learn to read )

I guessnow that I am checking and hoping fro a bet so that I can check raise the pot maximum now. Just to make sure that it is too expensive for the drawing hands - I want to take it here.
