Fairly early in the tournament, the table has been mostly conservative. I had a sense that a reraise might scare everyone off on the flop. Should I have played this a different way to increase the pot? On the river I was hoping someone had a flush or full house.

you played it fine imo, he is fos here so often that calling all the way to the river is fine. You could even bet the river smaller if you wanted.

You will prob get called by all pairs if you shove the flop tbh. Almost every card in the deck is a scare card for small pairs here.

I think you played it OK. It's tricky from BB position. The half-pot bet at the end wouldn't have scared off someone with a boat. And neither of the others managed to get there -- you can sorta of tell by, well, the fact that they folded. :0 And the decreasing bet sizes from flop to turn says they were still fishing.

On the whole, when there are 3 of a kind on the flop, and especially if it's a low card, it's unlikely that anyone has it. (All the limping, though, makes that more possible.) So the thought then is to make a higher boat than the other boats.
