KQs UTG - I suck at postflop (PP $11)

    Default KQs UTG - I suck at postflop (PP $11)

    Bit early for solid reads, but MP2 was about a 50/32 and button was about 35/15. Somewhat typical loose aggressive low buyin PP donks I guess.

    My thoughts on the hand:
    - Preflop: The call is a bit loose UTG I know, but the table so far had been pretty passive (VPIP 50%, PFR 5%) so I thought I'd get to see a flop. Is this a leak?
    - Flop: Scary board - KT or T8 has made their straight and anybody with a T has an OESD. That said, I think I need to bet out here given I caught my Q, I think the 3/4 PSB is OK.
    - Turn: Given both opps called my flop bet, I should have checked, right?

    Alright, I'll start with preflop.

    If you're playing this hand, you shouldn't be limping this, you need to open with a raise here. This makes sure that real hands will be coming in with you, no BB special, no button, no SB (unless they have hands)

    As played, I bet the pot on the flop, to give horrid odds for the straight draw.

    On the turn, your bet is too weak compared to the pot size. Again, how is this 7 helping your opps? If they have 810, they flopped the straight, so the 7 isn't helping them. Checking this turn would be very bad. You lead the flop and you're checking the turn, giving them a free card if they happen to have 2 clubs (not very likely, but possible).

    I think you need to call the push here. You're getting excellent odds on your money, but the biggest problem is, you can't really put opps on ranges of hands because you didn't raise preflop, so 810 is very possible for these opps, or K10.
