What Fulltilt taketh away, Fulltilt giveth back

.... well a chunk of it anyways.

After the last few crucifying session on Fulltilt, in the space of 40 hands on a $3/6 table I made 40BBs, mainly due to a single hand which is my biggest pot ever on Fulltilt ($195) - whilst holding the mighty 85s.

$3/$6 Limit Holdem
5 Players

Stacks:
UTG $79
CO $172
BTN $123
SB $197.50
Hero (BB) $141

Pre-Flop: (1.5 SB, 5 players) Hero is BB 8s 5s
UTG raises, CO calls, BTN calls, SB calls, Hero calls (calling with any 2 suited here)

Flop: 7s 6h Ad (10.0 SB, 5 players) (well that gives me a 2nd nut straight draw)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets, BTN raises, SB calls, Hero calls, UTG 3-bets, CO 4-bets, BTN calls, SB calls, Hero calls, UTG calls (i figure it was worth calling the two back to me, although wasn't really expecting the cap)

Turn: 3s (15.0 BB, 5 players) (okay now I have the flush draw to go with my open ender, although not all outs are probably clean)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets, BTN calls, SB calls, Hero calls, UTG raises, CO calls, BTN calls, SB calls, Hero calls (initial check for utg to raise but he didn't. Not sure why I didnt check raise in the first chance with the button's bet but was glad UTG did. I didn't even raise when closing the action. I'm sure it is EV+ with that many opponents and maybe 13 outs ... although it could have been as low as 6 outs).

River: 4h (25.0 BB, 5 players) (hehe the stone cold nuts in a huge pot. that makes things much easier)
SB bets, Hero raises, 3 folds, SB 3-bets, Hero 4-bets, SB calls (a bit surprised by the 3 folds in the middle - surely someone at least had a set and would make a crying call in a pot this huge? Special thanks though to the SB who obliged by 3 betting with his second nuts)

Final Pot: 33.0 BB
SB shows 5c 3h (and that is why he is sitting on my right)
Hero shows a straight, Eight high 8s 5s

Hero wins 32.5 BB (net +23.5 BB)

Current bankroll: $24,400
January time played: 14.6h
January hands played: 3,658
January profit / (loss): $350

Epic hand. I would donk the flop. PFR can easily check with that many opponents and you have lots of equity 5 ways.

I also think it's worth an equity c/r or 3bet on the turn, but with that many opponent's it is perhaps too likely that one has a bigger FD.
