My belated thoughts on the hand:
Preflop: This is where i disagree with most. Almost everyone itt is advocating a flat pre.
Imo, if we are gonna VPiP this hand, a 3bet is significantly better. I don't expect to win the hand preflop a lot, or maybe ever, but folding out some equity should be a priority in this spot.
For starters, we fold out the strong players in the blinds a high percentage of the time. Even regardless of skill level, it's just so much easier to win the hand vs 2 opponents than it is vs 5. We thin the field, gain the initiative and have a chance to play in position vs player(s) who should make significantly worse decisions postflop than i do.
Flop: my cbet can still get called by worse and i can protect a bit vs 4 potential overcards. A check definitely is fine also, i don't mind either option.
Turn: clearly everyone thinks this should be a bet and i agree. Devil's advocate: A) i check back most of my range on this turn, so for balance is should check here also. B) My range and image are still stupidly strong and i might fold out a bunch of worse hands, and C) .... Yeah i got nothing. I need to exploite him hard here. This is a clear bet.
River: As drunk and whaley as this guy is, i cant imagine raising here get's called by worse often. I guess 89s and 87s do, but an overpair is definitely folding imo.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
