Hey everyone...been mulling around a hand I played about a week ago and extracting max value. Be curious if you all think this is super standard or if I left money on the table.

This is a home game with some pretty bad players. Blind structure is 1/2, witch 5 to come in. Stacks are typically at least $500, so it's effectively a 2/5 game with tendencies towards a 5/10.

OTTH

Hero is dealt QJ in the CO.

UTG ($800) limp (very fishy)
MP ($450) limp (EXTREMELY fishy)
Hero ($1400) Raise to $25
BTN ($1200) calls (reg bad)
BB ($800) calls (OMC)
UTG calls
MP calls

Pot $150

Flop KT2

checks around, but I have every intention of calling at least 1/2 pot behind. So many POWs

Turn A

Hero bets $75

After thinking about this, should I have flatted? Sets/2p likely didn't hit this flop (one of these guys would have gone nuts otherwise), but people will call very wide with TP/Drawing hands. I guess I'm really only worried about that 3rd . I'm very likely up against a Kx/Tx type hand, with KT/AT definitely in the mix from MP.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Pre is good

Flop - I like the check call line

He raised against 3 players in the pot. If it was one, I might consider flatting the raise, but I'm not looking for 3 people to outdraw me, especially when raiser shows strength here. I think raise is correct.

Bottom line: I think you played it fine.
