As many were limping and with that hand I decided to try to get lucky on the flop for a small price.
I think I had to bet stronger on the flop, maybe pot sized. Villain is a loose player (he was 56/28 in 25 hands,) in a previous hand he open raised 3x with 92suited, in others he was bluffing, so I think he might try to bluff me. On the turn I x/c because I was not sure if he has Qx or J9 and that K on the river did not help me too much, so I folded. How do you play this kind of hands against this type of players? Do you try to bluff catch them or just give up on the turn when a scary card comes in?

Don't bet the flop. With this many players and this weak a hand you risk value owning yourself too often and can't continue to punish draws when OOP on the turn with no idea of opponents hand strength.

Thanks for your opinion.

If you had AT would you bet? How much?

I wouldn't have AT here because I would be iso raising pre flop given AT is smashing a Limper's range.

With T7 here I would check call flop and evaluate turn.

Assuming I miss clicked and didn't raise AT here I would bet like 75% pot OTF to charge draws the maximum and get value from worse hands.

I mostly agree with your thoughts, maybe a pot size bet would be better against these loose players.

The problem at these stakes is that being almost the last one to act in a mw pot, you had to raise at least 10x to isolate and even some guys would call you with any 2 cards expecting to get lucky on the flop, sometimes they do. Imagine you iso raise 10x and get 2 callers. Then QJ2 appears, one of those guys can have something like Q5o, you are behind and cannot call a huge bet. That is why at these stakes and when the people on the table is too loose, I'd limp more than usual and raise only with ATB, AJ+ or TT+, unless there are some folds and I am in position, so I open to my usual range. Not sure if this is a good aproach in these situations.

I don't agree with your reasoning. Firstly I think something like 5x would get the job done (table dependant). Secondly we want people to put money into the pot with worse hands. This is how we make money as we flop better than Q5 the majority of the time. What we don't want is to go multi way vs undefined ranges with a hand that plays best vs 1 or 2 players.

I agree that this is the standard on any stakes besides micro (maybe sometimes on low stakes too.)

In this hand that I posted, it is a mw pot with 6 people including myself, according to theory of 3x+1x for each limper I should raise to 7x, this kind of tables people don't care about your raise, they want to see a flop no matter what. Some go all in with marginal hands like T4o and get lucky against AK or any strong hand. I know that in the long run is EV+, but sometimes it gets frustrating.

flop bet is good, but i check turn and see what opp is doing, also check/call river .
