My first question is should I have raised before the flop? I was in middle position and had a couple callers in front of me. Or is this a hand you want to see with a bunch of people in it? I think my raise on the flop is ok. After three callers I should assume I am behind there though correct? Should I have called the Turn bet? I did not have much of a read on Bhiggs. I knew that apeyard was a complete fish, so I was not really worried about him. I certainly should have let it go on the river, I should have know I was beat then right? How would you all have played this?

The flop raise is very nice, but when you get called 3 times on that flop, it would be hard for me to believe youre ahead. I think you need a straight to win.

AQ, Q9, KJ, KT, JT all beat you and those are all hands that people play. At least one of them has to have one of those hands.

Should I have raised it up preflop to perhaps eliminate some of the callers?

When should I have been done with the hand? As soon as I saw the three callers on the flop, or was I getting the right odds to draw for my straight with the call of the $5 bet on the turn? I am getting almost 5:1 on my call. $24 in the pot/ $5 to call, and I have 8 outs, assuming that no one already has any of the outs, which clearly they did.
