UTG was way overplaying his stack. He was in every pot for the last two orbits and had gotten lucky a few times with awful holdings. He had pushed me off of a c-bet a couple of hands ago.

No big plays from MP3, he was a pretty straightforward player at these low levels. He played the rebuy period pretty well.

How often do you see this turn play working?

It's too early, I think. 100/200 in a rebuy is like 15/30 in a freezeout. No one folds. Check the flop 4-way. You were just lucky he didn't have anything. 4 people saw the flop and all 4 called. Chances are that 1 or 2 of them are floating big cards.

You represented a set, but like 15/30 in a freezeout, no one's folding Q9 here. You get a 7, 88/99 to fold. I'd think TT/JJ raise the flop if they don't raise preflop. I don't know what "played the rebuy period pretty well" means but I'm guessing that he's a weak player playing with scared money so I'd be less inclined to put the pressure on him with my stack when I can do it later for less chips HU instead of in family pots. I'd be more inclined to think that he has something that he's willing to go with when he bets it 4-way after 4 called the flop.

OOP, you're better off check/calling or check/raising the flop depending on the action behind you. If UTG's overplaying what he thinks is "the big stack," he'll bet. Everyone else knows he's betting light, so if they just call, you know they're on weak holdings, too. Check/raising this situation is more profitable. A bet/raise, you fold. A bet from MP or the button and you raise. A bet from MP with the button calling, you call.

Read - Understood the risk taking involved during the rebuy, but was also not making ridiculously stupid plays after the flop.
