Hero with 5♣5♦ (bottom set)

The math

GTO answer: Bet 9bb

Bottom set in a five-way pot on a connected board. Slowplaying is the biggest mistake you can make here. Every turn brings draws home and you have four opponents who can outdraw you. Bet around 9bb (70-75% pot). Charge straight draws and two-pair draws max price, get value from Jx and 8x that will rarely fold to one bet, and isolate the field. If you check, prepare to make a tough turn decision when a 9, T, 7, or 6 hits. Bet now.
