Playing 9 handed home cash game w/ .25-.50 blinds. 4 limpers to me in big blind. I look at AcQd. I raise to $3, a standardish raise. All four others call including SB. Flop comes JcTc7c. SB checks, I bet $5, 2 folds, button calls, SB pushes for $18 more. What do ya'll think I should do here? I decided to call. Button, who is fairly LAG, then pushes all in for my stack, $60 more. Now what do I do???
More info - after button pushes, the SB laughs at says I'm drawing dead. While I'm deciding about my all in, someone else looks at SB's hands, also starts to laugh, starts looking through the discards, laughs some more, and SB decides to MUCK his hand and just leaves!!
My thoughts - I kind of vaguely decided I was pot committed thinking I had somewhere between 7-12 outs, more if he's only got one pair (very unlikely). Thoughts? Result to come.

Dont like preflop raise..considering you're severaly out of position, and now have inflated this pot , with an unmade drawing hand.
As played, call off the chips. Im saying this, because Im trusting your read on your opponent, and we can possibly add the Ace to our outs.

Since no one really cares...I call, he's got j7. Turn's a brick. River's a club. Ding! He said he almost just called and would have pushed the turn on a brick and if I check (which I probably would have). Do I fold to his turn push? I thought I would have to, even with my 12 outs.
what a weird home game. calling 6xBB with j-7

Don't depend on results to determine how the hand should be played
I definitely like a BB check here, bloating pots OOP will definitely lose you a ton in the long run
15 minutes at this home game and you'd understand why i raised even OOP with only AQo. Almost everyone limps every hand until someone raises. I'd say the average pot is $15 and usually around $500-1000 on the table by the end of the night. It's ridiculous, and highly profitable for someone trying to build a roll. It's a college dorm game, so many newbies who've barely even played. Add in the regulars who base their entire masculinity on how big of a bluff they can make / making the most ridiculous calldowns, and you have juicy-ness.
