$2 NLHE Full Ring: Flopped two pair - 6way pot, very wet flop. Go for max value or proceed cautiosly?

888 Poker - $0.02 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG+1: 100 BB (VPIP: 21.94, PFR: 2.91, 3Bet Preflop: 2.07, hands: 521)
MP: 148.5 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 13.04, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 46)
MP+1: 126 BB (VPIP: 60.87, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 23)
CO: 123 BB (VPIP: 50.40, PFR: 8.47, 3Bet Preflop: 3.54, Hands: 253)
BTN: 129.5 BB (VPIP: 11.49, PFR: 11.49, 3Bet Preflop: 3.03, Hands: 88)
SB: 45.5 BB (VPIP: 58.33, PFR: 25.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
BB: 100 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 5.56, Hands: 60)
Hero (UTG): 147.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A♣ J♦

Hero raises to 3.5 BB, fold, fold, MP+1 calls 3.5 BB, CO calls 3.5 BB, BTN calls 3.5 BB, SB calls 3 BB, BB calls 2.5 BB

Alright, I assume pre-flop is fine.


Flop: (21 BB, 6 players) T♥ J♥ A♠
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets 17.5 BB, MP+1 calls 17.5 BB, CO calls 17.5 BB, fold, fold, BB calls 17.5 BB

Board is soaking wet, but only sets and KQ beat me now. I didn't want to scare all those draws away, but could I have charged them more, considering how many fishy opponents with WIDE ranges are there?


Turn: (91 BB, 4 players) 2♣
BB checks, Hero bets 55 BB, fold, CO calls 55 BB, fold

Perfect card for me. Most likely, nobody has improved his hand.


River: (201 BB, 2 players) 2♠
Hero bets 71.5 BB and is all-in Villain???

I was going planning to go for stacks if no scare cards come already on flop, and 2 is just perfect for me.

Should I have taken cautious line here? I don't think so. My main question is - was flop played correctly or should I have bet more or played more cautiously? Also, is my thinking proccess fine?

I think you played it well. You could probably bet closer to pot on the flop and a little bigger on the turn, as you're ahead of a huge portion of their calling ranges, which aren't going to pay you off when they miss the river.

Pre is too loose UTG 9-handed. Wp postflop though. Sizings are good. You don't want to blow off weaker aces with a big turn bet. And draws probably aren't peeling to a huge turn bet.
