TT - 200PL

Pot limit table. Loose pf as usual for a PL table. I am running about 26/15, a little looser than normal because of some extra limp behind on the button opportunities.

No real read on UTG+1, but he is probably raising a moderately wide range. The three callers can literally have ATC. Is this an automatic big raise pf, or would it be better to call and play it for a set in this multiway pot vs. 3 known braindead chimps and 1 possible donator?

I think I need QQ+ in this situation to pot pre. You're almost always getting 1 if not 2 callers leaving you with a $100+ pot before the flop is even seen.

Call and lead on a lot of flops.

what sorts of flops am I leading, and what am I trying to accomplish with this lead?

I like to call here and enjoy my juicey odds. I also don't like to raise people out who are likely to pay us off postflop when we hit.

This hand reminds me of Fnord's phrase "mistake equity".
