I think I definitely played this hand to passive (maybe because there was 5 runners), by the looks of it I would have won it preflop (maybe except for the guy who would probably shove with his flush draw)

I'm just wondering how others might have played this hand? Without influence by the results

BTW: This was my first hand on the table so I have no reads on the others players

In a marginally higher buyin your raise size pre was perfect. In the low buyin Stars mtt's, you want to be 3bb + 1bb for each limper.
Getting this many callers pre just really sucks. Players are sooooo bad in these tourneys (there's no way some of them should be flatting here with their stack sizes... they should be looking for spots to resteal shove, 3-bet in pos. to isolate, or just plain out FOLD... the occassional call but seriously.. huge multiway pot this late in the game... wtf?
(I will play a handful of these at times & do notice the field generally gets much better in later levels.... but not always).
Anyways... the blurb here above is just sayin' what my read is on the table from the preflop play. I mean an Early Pos. raise... wtf do they figure your range for here? (or do they even figure at all?).

Flop (12,460) <? sounds about right?

HERO - bet 9,000
We must bet here. We took the initiative preflop & we should continue to do so on this seemingly harmless board. Because of the nature of the table (loose/pass calling stations imo)... I would cbet ~9,000 here, leaving us a good-sized ~pot shove on the turn.

I'm definitely betting the flop (~2/3 pot) and looking to get the chips in either on the flop against a flush draw or on the turn if no overcard or club hits.

As played I would have been wary of someone having TJ so I would try to control the size of the pot. (so many players at the low stakes never fold TJ)

If you got a caller on the flop, you'd consider folding the turn if an overcard hits? (what hand would be calling that we'd be concerned with?... AT?). Just wondering..

[BluffYou123]

It would depend on the player that called me on the flop. At these stakes quite a few players still refuse to fold AK even when they miss the flop so I would re-evaluate on the turn. AT/KT are also hands that you could be up against so that is why I mentioned overcards maybe being a problem.
