live 5-5 game...I just got check raised by an underpair on a 2 flushed board...wtf?

Hey guys whats up?  This seems standard to me but I think my confidence is a little low right now so looking for some insight....maybe I should have played this different?


I start the hand with about 1k.  I have the button.  The game is filled with station fishes and no good players....I mean, multiple AIPF with Ax hands and 4 bet shoves with k high and stuff.  I mean, one hand I lead 90 into a pot of 125, and a dude just open ships for like 1300-1500ish....so yea, pretty loose game.

Ok so a dude raises and we get 4-5 callers. The raises in this game are a little bigger than normal.  He opened to 50, I call on button with Kc7c.  Flop comes out j84 with two clubs.  Everyone checks to me.  I think this is an auto bet.  My hand has a good bit of equity, and its reasonable that I can fire and everyone folds.  I bet 225 and the pot is like 250 (maybe this is too large?)

I get check raised by the initial raiser to like 600 or so.  I don't have much left so I get it in hoping he has a hand like aj jq, 9c10c, 5c6c, etc etc.  It's hard to put the inital raiser on anything super strong because it makes no sense for him to check a big PP on a flush draw board multi way....yea if he has JJ, that sucks but we still have decent equity against the tippy top of his range......Anywayssss, we run the board out and he turns over 99 like a boss....the range of hands that im leading with there are all two pairs, all sets, j9+, 5c6c, 7c8c, broadways with with clubs, 9c10c.  his hand has about 25% equity vs the hands that I will bet with in that spot....Is my play pretty standard and I am overthinking this because Im in like a 500 hour breakeven stretch, or is there a way I could have played it that would have been more ev?


Maybe I should let this go preflop because everyone is just so bad and there will be better spots in the future?
