20-40 LA game.

UTG, UTG+1 both limp. They're both loose but at times they can be aggressive. MP2 calls who is a TAG player. Button calls, a very aggressive winning player. Small blind calls and I knuckle my T8hh.

Flop comes:

Js 9s 3c.

UTG+1 bets, MP2 calls, and aggressive button raises.

What's my best play?

I'm not sure how many clean outs I have with a flush draw and a higher straight draw. The game at times has been very lively so it's possible the flop might get three bet or capped.

Four-way action is plenty for this draw. I'm happy to call two cold and call a reraise or cap. I don't want to reraise myself, because I want to encourage further calling after me. We want UTG+1 and MP2 to call to sweeten the pot, not fold. We'd pretty much have to know for sure someone held KT to want them to fold; no one else with a piece of this flop is going anywhere.

Fat draw. I'd 3bang it.

I like shoveling chips in the pot, but I'm stuck 60 bbs in my last couple of sessions.

3 bet > call >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fold

Wait, then why did you c/r the Q97 flop with T8 in the BB when I bet in the CO after raising preflop in a 5-way pot?

Because you like folding?
Seriously though, I also just call 2 and not raise, for the reasons Alan stated.

60? Really? 60? You're soft.

I just call the 2! on the flop. I don't really like a 3-bet much.

Any merit to putting in a raise preflop? Seems at least close with our hand 6-ways.

I generally lead this flop.

For balance, l,do.
