Hand Two :

This is from the same game as Hand One. I am in the SB. The other two major players in the hand are the BB and UTG. There are 9 players on the table. The BB I don't know what to make of. He seemed very tight and hardly played any hands. I had put him down as a solid player but then he lost a large pot with QTs, where he had been UTG and had hit the Queen. UTG was a weak passive player who seemed to limp with any two and who also had a real hard time laying down top pair.

My stack is about £120. The BB has me covered. UTG has £81.

I was dealt Th Td in the SB. The whole table, but one, limped to me. I checked, so did the BB. There is now £8 in the pot.

The flop comes out As Tc 9d. I bet £6. BB raises to £12 and UTG calls, everyone else folds. I flat call here, but now think I should've raised. Pot is now £44.

Turn card is 3c. I bet £35. They both flat call. The pot is now £149.

River is 6c. I check, the BB checks. UTG shoves all in for his last £33. I call (after a lot of thought), the BB folds. UTG flips over Ac 7c for the nut flush. The BB flips over his folded AJo.

My thought processes:

Preflop : I was trying to mix it up and being OOP in a large multiway pot I wasn't keen on raising PF with just Tens. This may have been a weak play.

Flop : Great flop for me. No one raised PF and I assume no one is slowplaying AA. Bit concerned about the straight draw and I wanted to thin the field, hence my initial bet. I think in hindsight I should've re-raised again on the flop and re-raised aggressively trying to take the pot down there and then. Flat calling to trap in a 3 way pot was dangerous and weak by me.

Turn : When I had flat called on the flop I realised it was a weak play the moment I said call. I bet the turn with the intention of shoving if I was re-raised again. But they both called.

River : Dumb by me. I think the check was the correct play, but I spent a long time trying to work out whether he'd hit two pair (I figured him for an Ace rag by now), he was trying to represent the flush on a bluff because me and the BB had checked or whether he had Ace rag clubs and had got lucky. Probably because I was frustrated from hand one (the tilting mindset that it couldn't have happened to me again surely?!) I called and in hindsight I think it was a terrible call.
